[@markhassan6203]

I’ve just had a L 4/5 & S1 Fusion three weeks ago and this is the best explanation I’ve had.

@Mark Hassan how are you doing now if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you Dr for this video. Very good and plain spoken explanation! I feel better about my surgery now.

Doctor, I am suffering from Spondylolisthesis for a year almost. I have tried all kinds of medication and physiotherapy but the pain is not reduced. Do I also need to undergo Lumbar Laminectomy and Fusion as described in the video?

[@flaviodasilva2022]

I have a spondylolisthesis L5-S1 and this is a Very nice explanation. Short and clear. Thanks

I had this done 15 months ago. It went really well and I am pretty much pain free today but if you are thinking of having it done be prepared to not feel normal again for a year.

Hi doctor I need some advice. I had this surgery 3 month ago but problem is first 2 month I feel no pain at all. After 2 month my surgeon send me for MRI. I done it and result come same L5 disc slip again and I feel some pain my left leg. What shell I do now. If any thing goes worse shell I do any surgery again. Please give me some idea.

[@khankobir2363]

Can I do another surgery?

[@duces1231]

I have stenosis in my lumbar spine and have been going to Resurgens for 3 years now . My Dr NEVER SUGGESTED this procedure to me. I'm guessing this is how they treat WORKERS COMP PATIENTS. 👎🏽 I've had PT and multiple rounds of steroid shots w/ NO RELIEF. I'm currently wearing a back brace and using a walker. I need a NEW DOCTOR😏

[@angeladerleth7703]

was this considered minimally invasive surgery

[@satishsharma6191]

Dr Jeffords can you please share your email. i would like to send my MRI report and seek your advice. I am from India

[@KAOBANG]

Dr,Paul, excellent video. Please comment if the fusion will limit the movement of the spine or the body? Thanks.

[@ShadowNuke]

yes it will. that section of the spine becomes completely immobile, as the bone graft and rods prevent it from moving.
