Old school L4, L5, and S1 posterior fusion with cadaver bone. I wanted to go home that night, but the surgeon talked me into waiting until the next morning. Prior to the procedure I had asked him the criteria for discharge. I had met those several hours after post op and pointed it out to him. Still, I agreed to wait. My incision was glued shut, not stapled or sutured. The surgery was well worth the risk. I still have back pain, but not near the previous levels nor sciatic related (leg, groin).
Good video. This surgeon is very switched on! Had Spinal fusion 6 weeks ago L5/S1. First 3 weeks made good progress but then came to a plateau of limited improvement. 6 weeks out and still need pain killers and occasionally get sciatica down my left leg! Apparently the nerve needs time to settle down! I hope this is the case. At this point in time, if you have long term sciatica nerve pain then I would NOT put off surgery? My overall mobility is much better! I tried everything! Even £1000.00 on a course on a stretching machine. ....It doesn't fix the issue! Listen and learn!
What do you fo for LSTV bilateral ..left processcont growing to fuse to sacrum and right process cont growing forming pseudoarthrosis joint to ilium... Have eds and si joint disfuncution..already had disc out and l4)5 fusion thirty years before i found out about lstv birth defect...un agony Back pelvis stiffness ..spine under pressure misalignment splaying sensation. Now buzzing in pubis ..hip pain leg pains criplled feet ..what can i have dobe .do you treat tye birth defect or treT tye side effects ie s i joint pain svoliosis facet pain etc ???
Love this great info. I am meeting with my Dr soon hoping next week or this weekend if he can get me in to go over my MRI. He at first wanted to try injections just by going off of xray, saying it was arthritic. After my MRI it is clearly more than what we though. Do I have an option of going straight for surgery? Or do what he says? Been in pain for five years severe and accident happened in 2002.
@@markusgarcia4136 You don’t ever wanna fused the back . if I fuse your knee how would u have mobility ? When you no longer have functionality of the spine by fusing it up . you’re literally fucked . Because then you will have poor lack of mobility flexibility and rotation in all other joints in the body ; everything has an effect due to fusion .the fused spine is very dangerous. It’s literally a slow death to the person health That’s what these corrupt doctors don’t talk about.
I've seen a lot of videos about this surgery.. This was the best one... Thank You :)

Godbless you and your family

Ty I am a retired RN with L3 to S1 fusion coming the end of the month
How did fusion go?

Thank you for showing this video. I’m having the anterior version on Wednesday and I’m terrified of the aftermath pain.
How did it go if i may ask...
Update?
