Excellent video ! Great clarity.

Excellent video. Expecting more.....

I had this at age 29 during my 3rd pregnancy. 3 babies in the span of 4 yrs. I suffered constant pain no matter what position I was in. Doc said theres nothing that can be done because Im pregnant, I cant take pain meds. Basically bed ridden until I gave birth. Then got into pilates specific for the back and slowly got better. Thank God! Its been 15 yrs and I am back to normal. No more pain.

I love the ending - Less invasive :) - How? There will be drills, saws, hammers, knives, screwdrivers, involved in cutting, chopping, and stuffing - finally glueing, sewing and taping. Follows are lots of pain medication, therapy, and weakness until you recover fully - but if you are lazy, don't expect an easy road to it - how do I know this? I had three surgeries :) on my back, I wear the scars proudly!

this is the best spinal animation ive ever seen

This was a great video! Very detailed and helpful.

Lying in my hospital bed, just had posterior decompression with fusion and instruments, hope i said it right! 3.5 hours in surgery, have a great surgeon .Dr. David allen jones, tahoe fracture! Anestia is waring off and pain from surgery is begginig! No doubt i made the right decision, good luck ti you all

Amazing work

Nicely explained with animation,thanks

I just had both a PLIF fusion and a TLIF fusion on my L4-S1 last Monday. My drop foot has improved significantly. I'm slowly recovering, walking when I can. The surgeon told me that the worst thing I could do is stay in bed all day. I'm not in as much pain as I thought would be and I'm improving every day!

Thank you very much!

This was great video

I am 2 weeks 6 days out from surgery. I left hospital after 4 days. I stopped 98% of pain killers after i left hospital. I take Panadeine forte and lyrica only 1-2 times a day. I have surgery pain but nothing that i can handle. My hips and left leg get very tight which i gently stretch every day now that im feeling less pain. Stretching slightly helps with sharp pain. I walk as much as i can. I started my own light weight-body weight exercise. My surgery took 7hrs. The ruptured part of my disc had grown around the nerve and turned into bone. When i woke up my face, chest and arms were very sore from laying on it for so long. The first 4 days was very very painful. But i kept going. Dont give up.

Very good video. Thank you

Thank you lord Jesus for putting this on KZfaq 🙏🏽😞 I needed this so much

great video

I love how KZfaq recommended this video, so awesome to see how they perform the surgery.

Awesome post thanks 😊💖🌷🙏

So I’m having this done on Monday on my L4. 6 months of PT, steroid injections and nothing is helping. I stopped PT and almost immediately started feeling better. 2 months in with no pain, and one morning my back gave out again. This time I was wheelchair bound for almost 2 weeks. So I agreed to do the surgery. But reading these comments have gave me great points to ask my doctor. I’m only 33 and my spine isn’t getting any better

My doc did my L5S1 fusion by the anterior approach, when I see how complicated the posterior approach is, I say a silent thank you to my doc. If only I hadn't gotten addicted, no no excuse me, dependent, on prescription pain meds, (Lortab, I am looking at you) the whole job would have been perfect. My back healed up great, but it took 5 years to get off pain meds.

Wow,now i understood the intervertebral foramen and vertibral foramen

This is terrifying

When I had an L5-S1 fusion they just laid match stick splints taken from my left iliatic crest and laid them in place across the space between the L5-S1 gap and hoped for the best...

Excellent

thank you!

Nice

This sounds right.

That is my diagnose, degenerative lumbar @5 after my x ray, I take now B complex, and my exercise is back bend downward ,it works slightly. Before that dianose, I have a problem with my bowel. My left feet have pain also.

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك ... تبارك الله أحسن الخالقين .

awesome

great video!

Best animation I’ve seen so far

Useful video

Nicely done everything needed to be done

Very good and I like

this was great

Great simulation !

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!

Bravo kako strucno sve prikazano snimljeno d0 nah sitnijih detalja sad sam vidjela kako izgleda kada je disk ostecen I pritika nerv

Healthcare is fun in so many ways.

Very informative. Several more fixes... ill be ok 1 day

Человеку невозможно жить вечно. в нем заложен ресурс максимум 150-170 лет, это самый потолок!

I have a 6th lumbar vertebrae, spondylolisthesis, and lumbar lordosis! I had to have 3 lumbar fusions 😅 I love being able to see exactly what they did to save me!

Impresionante todo Lo Q se hace hoy en columna

In Europe this is done from the front. Doing it through the spine there's limited space and too many nerves = more probability for something to go wrong.

Good.love from pakistan.thanks

Lateral is the only way to go.

I had this. Worked very well.

Если так сделать то будет полный звиздец дискам сверху и снизу , так как на них ляжет двойная нагрузка . Британский профессор просто сказал , что со временем воспаление грыжи прекращается и она уменьшается и образуется на месте разрыва типа защитного хряща , но у каждого время на это разное , зависит от возраста и здоровья . В начале надо обезбаливать и снять нагрузку со спины везде и учиться правильно ходить и лежать .А такие операции только при сильных травмах дисков спины когда человек парализован .

Great presentation thank you

Gran explicacion pero cuales son los riesgos y las secuelas q dejaria xq un medico me la pinto muy buena pero por arreglarme la extrusion discal mediana q tengo podria quedar totalmente invalido?? Q tan cierto es eso?

wov.what a technllogy super vedeo expln.

Bravo super

can you do anything for spinal cord injury

Scary

Superrrrrrrr video

Hermoso video tan bien explicado de nuestra columna Dios mío q hermosa creación es el cuerpo humano nunca será igual a una creación humana

fact, fusions are not natural movement after and has a high risk for ongoing pain after that comes and goes long term because cutting of the bone like that. is why so many still have issues after disc fusions. I refused that type of treatment, but now after surgery it never hurts. i have issues with other areas, but 4 of my lumbar needed it and today they are pain-free. i think i made the right choice. I made it due to it being not a normal movement after...

Very impressive.

i need this done to my c5-c7 as well as my l5s1. ugh

Do the screws transfer stresses to the bone to which they are attached because of local fusion. I wonder how long this will last.

Vdd Veronica, Infelizmente tem vídeo aqui mesmo no youtube que aqueles parafusos de fixação estourando as vértebras depois de apertados, isso quando eles não estouram a medula, Infelizmente.

Amazing

Today marks a year I got one l4/l5 l5/ S1 and I feel awesome! It’s a shitty recovery but anything is better then what I was feeling. I’m also 27 years old so In the grand scheme of things I’m very young to get one.

very well animated

Fascinating, even if it is 7 yrs. old.

Thank you very,Very...Sooo.MUCHOoooo... Blessing Love's Life's..

Great video! Would it be a problem if I used this video for another explainer video? Please let me know.

Спасибо за очень хорошее объяснение с прекрасной визуализацией процессов !

I like!! Eu gostei!!

Best Animation. I had this done 6 level's.The Pain level is different for everyone, my pain is unreal most of the time. I had surgery May of 2018 and I suffer from numbness and tingling, and feet going Cold. I been suffering for 8 years since a couple of Geniuses decided to put wax stripper on tile's, go figure.

Would like to add a comment about infection. There is nothing more painful or dangerous than infection in the spine after surgery. I know of many people that have under gone successful surgeries and never had a hint of infection and one's incision continued to seep for nearly three weeks. Here are some hints on how to avoid infection. 1) do exactly as they say regarding washing the area days before leading up to the surgery. Do not spare the soap and use clean, clean towels and wash cloths EACH TIME. 2) Change your bed sheets after each sanitizing bath. This is important because you are killing that bacteria that lingers on the body over those days. Do not contaminate yourself with the same sheets you got out of hours ago. 3) You need to evict your pets. Absolutely no pets before or after surgery on your side of the bed. I am sorry to inform you but that is where most infections are carried from. Animals carry bacteria all over them as we do. But remember you did not wash your cat or your dog with that soap three times before surgery and its still the same bacteria laden animal it was before the surgery. Evict your pet until you are completely healed and safe yourself a lot of pain, hospital time and money.

Every time i have pain i watch this videos and never go to doctor So many like me😂

Well explained! thank u

O prezentare interesantă, cu imagini

I have broken L5 three times

Atlantic spine centre

Good explanation , video super

Biti doktor to je cast I plemenit posao ali isto tako I odgovoran

This video is very educational! When we merge two vertebrae do we still have so much mobility? And last question, can you explain what are Schmorl's nodes ? Thanks

i had this shit done on 3 vertebra and they cut my stomach open too. it was fuckkng gnarly

Pero , para que soldas el hueso ?

It very nice and relief for painner...and me, thank you

Vou assistir de novo

Its make this join fixed. It can no more move. So the next join have to move more and it will be the next one to have ploblem.

As someone that has gone through this TWICE, I think I can give a certain amount of experience as in a comment. First of all, I had a fractured vertebrae caused from playing with my dog. She was simply pulling on her pull toy and I was stupid enough to hang on. Being 77 age the time, probably contributed to the weakness in my CORE...which is basically what we are talking about. That surgery went very, very well. One reason I believe it did was I made myself aware of what exactly they were going to do and the ramifications of it. Yes, it is a major surgery and they WILL move stuff around A LOT and you WILL need some major recovery time. They take out bones and crush them up and make bone paste and they use tools that when listed looks like an auto mechanics major overhaul list on a drive shaft or whatever. I went through one year of required PT of all sorts before my insurance would pay for an MRI. That was NOT fun and YOU will remember that pain. So after the problem was discovered I schooled myself on exactly what the doctor was going to do. I knew I would have to let my body adjust to the adjustments.. And its exactly that. If they took a bone out of here, then you may end up with unwanted cartilage there requiring removal later at some point. I didn't know that so when I had to have another fusion I was indeed, just a little pissed. BUT, that was not the doctors fault. Its called genetics. If your family has a history of arthritis, of bone cartilage gathering ...like in your knees, the fusion will be an real event in your life...perhaps ongoing. Anyway, I apparently have that. Once more, it was my dog who was unable to negotiate steps into the house after an injury and I, of course, tried to help her. Then I tried to help my husband do something neither of us should be doing. ....and well, there is that. Second fusion had to disturb the first because the four screws and holes with two bars illustrated above had to be partially disassembled in order to allow the replacement of longer bars extending UP from the original fusion. In six years all that had grown together in a nice neat little unbreakable package and as a weld in a tube might be stronger than the either side of the weld, so isn't this! Without going into a lot of long words, we can just assumed I had to have four more holes in the L's above and longer bars to cover that distance of vertebrae. I just want anyone that DID read all this to realize, that it is worth it IF you have the time and patience to let your body heal. The first four or five days are wretched as any surgery. It is not so much the pain from the, now, eight screws and longer bars in bone...at least my assessment is more the pain coming from cutting and pulling the skin back from the area of the surgery....muscles, fat etc, the little ratchet used to dig out all that excessive cartilage your body tries to put in there to shore up your problem.....which eventually just causes more trouble. All that has to settle down and go someplace safe. If you can imagine putting a bunch of stuff in a jar and shaking it up ....some stuff is fastened there and some just needs to find its place. Do exactly as they tell you. Wear that brace if planning on being up for more than ten minutes. How all that grows back is important. Imagine each move you make will make a difference. Cause ...it does. Don't bend from the waist or twist for a long, long time. Do not walk or do too many laps in your house trying to impress yourself or neighbors. They do not care and you will appreciate how caring YOU are about YOU. Just start out with a goal of three or four...adding one or two laps each week. Go on a diet if you are heavy and have an overhang. All that is pulling on that work they did. Eat lightly and lose some of that. You will appreciate it in the long run and your brace will fit better too. Even after two or three months thee will be times you just want to go to bed. GO TO BED. Its ok...unless you are still working and then you need a kind boss. Baby yourself and all that work will pay off. You will appreciate the fact that you can no longer tell you had surgery. You have a scar but it will not interfere with your life as long as you are sensible and do not try to. be a gymnast. Once you are up and going ....about two, three months...do push yourself to go just a little further when you walk. It will pay off. Nothing fantastic...just make progress a little at a time. Today I am in my 7th day out from surgery. As I set here, I KNOW I had surgery...it hurts but not like it did before the surgery. I will have to go back to bed soon because I have been up for over 30 min. If I do not I will set myself back two days. So if you have to have this done...accept it, do it, take your time and you will be fine. Or you can suffer the rest of your life and look like an old person way too soon. :))

But joining the two vertebrae together is a bad thing! It prevents movement. Why they don't just replace the disc?

Males sense for those with thin disc's and bulge discs. As it's just matter of time 1-8 years max before you have to deal with no more disc's and bone spurs.

Why don’t they put something in place of the joints that were removed to protect the spinal cord??

Quando se está meses de cama, com dores que te tiram o significado de viver, se olha esses vídeos e parece mágica.

Saludos a mi papa L5 L4 lumbar el tiene osteporosis sufre mucho ami me gustaria q me ayudaran q Dlb bendiciones

I have bad hyperlordosis, if I get surgery will I get this?

Hola buenos días.....retiro de disco inbertebral total área S1 .. recuperación y cuidados

Buenas, me fracture hace unos 25 días, que tan malo puede ser que me hagan una cirugía unos días después?

Exelente explicacion

I'm curious to what extent this limits motion.

What is success rate?

Traducción a español gracias

people i looked it up: if you have upper back pain it probably isnt a hernia since those occure mostly in the lower back, *phew*

I'm not a doctor but it's a very complicated operation I guess... you have to put aside the spinal cord, and if you damage it, there is the risk to block forever movements of the person.
