More Artificial Disc Scams on Facebook | (Ep:10 Spine Scams Exposed)

[@AgentAlexPBT]

Dr. Deuk, I’m binge watching these videos on your channel in awe of both your empathy, expertise, and subtle humor. I hope to become like you after I graduate college and get on my way to medical school, except to go into psychiatry! Thank you for being a great spine surgeon for your patients and an inspiration to those watching the channel!

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

Thank you Alex. I really loved my psychiatry rotations. I wish you well.

I had a 2 level replacement in 2006, and it was the Best decision I ever made. I’ve been pain free since then, and off all pain meds since. I was told by 4 other spine surgeons that I needed fusions. Please research your doctor and the options.

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

Artificial discs and other artificial things are a horrible idea especially when laser is now available to replace all “artificial” treatment Glad you are well. We are fusing a patient this Thursday because their artificial disc has popped out

[@kevinh7367]

I’ve been fine since 2006 and haven’t had 1 issue. Best thing I ever did. Friends and coworkers with similar injuries that had fusions and can hardly walk. And now need more surgery because the disc above deteriorating. I’ve also had multiple other treatments to repair the disc before surgery, all of them did nothing.

[@trenttinney6425]

I am so glad I never had this in 2010, they wanted to replace three discs in my lumbar spine and I decided against it. I’m still in pain but not in a wheelchair. Hard to find ethical back surgeons that’s a fact.

There are times where a disk replacement is necessary, whether it be an artificial disk or a cage (fusion). Artificial disks have been around for over 4 decades now and the research & studies on ADR compared to Fusion indicate a superior implant, lessening the risk of adjacent segment disease by a factor of 3. I'd take an ADR to a fusion any day. At worst, fusion can always be a backup but once fused its game over.

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

Thank you for sharing your opinion

[@KasraOskuie]

I'm being told that I have "minor" DDD and "minor" bulging of L4 L5 S1 disks and "minor" Spinal stenosis. All minor and no where near needing surgery. Well, good. I don't want a surgery either. But, why is it that after spending a day and half in the emergency room 12 days of hospital rehab, Two months of physical therapy, I'm still have pain? weak legs? I am so lost. They keep saying it's nothing. Just so lost. Also, what is the cost for laser surgery? is it something you can have health insurance to pay for?

[@maheshdalvi7178]

Dr Deuk, I’m having L4-L5 Sponsythesis . Can it be treated with DLDR.

[@maheshdalvi7178]

Is it ok to share with MRI and X rays

[@maheshdalvi7178]

I’m asking this specific question as on ur website “Spondylolithesis” is not mentioned in the list of disease getting cured by DLDR

[@eman43591]

I’m glad I watch this video I was thinking about getting a artificial disc myself not now after watching this

[@ginzo666]

It's a big surgery with risks to match. Conservative options need to be exhausted before considering it. But it can be excellent in some cases.

[@brittjuergens2660]

Don’t make your decision solely based on this guys videos. These are sales videos. Think about it. Artificial discs can be incredibly successful, just as endo surgical options can as well. Instead of making decisions based on KZbin videos, find a good surgeon that will do every conservative option available for you before considering fusion or artificial disc. But when you need a fusion and there are no other options, you’re gonna need it.

[@July-A7]

​@@brittjuergens2660take a step back. Before you go to fusion, see if disk replacement can work. Before disks, see if endoscopic laser treatment can fix. Before that, explore conservative non invasive physical therapies .

[@jimdara-w4m]

What if the disc is worn and decreased in height by aging factor ? Not bulged. What treatment is the best in this case ? thank you.

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

Even when the disc is degenerated, the DLDR is the best treatment.

[@jimdara-w4m]

How ? how will DLDR return the disc to its previous normal height ? @@aradeukmedjian5957

3 months I had Dr Deuk fix my artificial disc from 22 years ago. Over time it slipped 1/2 way out ! Other Drs argued with me that it was put incorrectly! It was not. It was lined up perfectly! They seem to move over time !

[@Paratesti]

We need to take away life altering decisions away from insurance companies and have a panel of the most experienced surgeons say what is covered because they know what works , seems insane to me that some individuals working for the insurance companies are the deciding factors in people’s lives , laser needs to be covered by Medicare , it would save money long term when patients get better, recovery = no more expensive treatments that aren’t working

Hi Dr What do you mean by repairing your disk? After removing the herniated disc portion by laser, do you also repair the tear on the disc capsule? Thank you

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

The laser procedure allows the disc to seal itself afterwards.

[@markmartin9346]

i had a 2 level lumbar disc replacement in germany in 2008. Best thing I ever did. No pain and do anything I want with no restrictions. This guy's procedure doesn't stop the degeneration of the disc and DDD will continue with other levels.

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

We recognize you as a "sales person" for artificial disc surgeons. Artificial disc patients have horrific complications from the artificial disc surgery, even when done in Germany. Deuk Laser Disc Repair naturally repairs injured discs and the patients body heals their own disc without dangerous spine surgery.

[@markmartin9346]

You are full of shit. I am for real and had my discs put in by doctor Ritter-Lang in Stenum, Germany. I had L3- L5 with the Maverick Disc in 2008. Best thing I ever did. 16 years later and ZERO complications. You don't do anything to ",fix" a disc. It will only get worse. I know many people who have gone to Ritter-Lang and are glad they did.

[@SurajAcharya-s7l]

I absolutely agree with Deuk Laser professionals, you're the BEST !

[@robertmcghee3646]

So if not ADR then what solution is better for thinning disc? Fusion?? I would choose ADR over fusion sorry.

[@Dr-Shlomo-Cohen]

Hi, my doctor recommended microdicectomy. He said endoscopic takes more time for no reason. What are your thoughts?

[@aradeukmedjian5957]

Your doctor is wrong. Microdiscectomy is destructive and causes spinal instability. Deuk laser disc repair is safer and better

[@ginzo666]

Endoscopic also has higher rates of nerve injury due to not being able to see as well. But this clown won't tell you that.

I live in DC metro area. My spine surgeon is Dr Cory Wallach at the Anderson Orthopedic Clinic. Have you heard of this group? I’ve had 2 fusions at L3/L4 and L4/L5. Just had an MRI showing L1/L2 and L5/S1 to be herniated. I’m in terrible pain. I don’t know what to do? Do you think your laser procedure could help? I’m 67, a lifelong , full time martial artist with a full time school for 35 years. I can’t even stand for 2 classes because my pain is so bad. I can send my MRI for you to examine. Please get back to me. Dr Wallach will do fusions, but I’m so tired of surgeries. (I’ve also had a hip replacement and both knees replaced, and my big toe rebuilt-another story). Do you think fusions are my only choice? This is complicated, I know, but I’m willing to try anything to relieve my pain and continue to practice and teach my art, Taekwondo-Do.

[@brians2328]

You'd stop your adjacent segment disease from the fusions by getting a disc replacement above it.. Probably you'll have to go to Germany and self pay but it WILL STOP IT!! LP-ESP disc only!!

So how does your laser fix a disc that’s bone on bone? I’m a lumbar adr patient L5S/1 that’s doing absolutely great I was informed before surgery 80% of patients are happy with the outcome so unfortunately there is 200 unhappy patients per 1000 surgeries thankfully I’m not one of them I was prepared to take that risk and don’t regret it a single bit I’ve got my life back but I feel so sad for unlucky outcomes god bless 🙏
