North American Spine Laser Spine Surgery Review

[Monty]

Hi Maria,

I will find my paperwork regarding the specifics of what my surgery involved (the levels you inquired about) and get back online within two days. I do know for a fact that they located the nerves that were being pinched and were able to deaden the nerves causing me so much pain.

Monty, congrats on your success and thanks for posting!!!

It's great to hear about cases like yours... In many straightforward cases, when the nerves are compressed and causing pain, decompressing them relieves the pain.

YAHOO!!! I wish you continued success and please keep us posted.

all the best,

Mark

The procedure I had done at North American Spine is noted as Disectomy and Neural Decompression, L3, L4, L5.

Dissection was carried up to the level of disc space on right, protruding tissue was mechanically isolated and removed using a blunt probe dissection mechanical technique with cautery and lavage. This included decompressing the disruption with mechanical passess of the decompression tool.

L-3, L-4 left

Disc tissue was removed along with decompression in this area. Certainly there is more in depth medical notes that were done with my procedure. If anyone has questions I would consult with North American Spine as I did a few months ago. They reviewed my MRI for free to determine if I was a candidate.

As I mentioned in earlier posts, my surgery was a success and the only regret is not having it done sooner! I was in pain off and on (mostly ON) for many, many years. I have no regrets having the painless procedure done so that I can do the things I used to do that caused me pain. I also had sciatica which was a killer whenever I had a bout! Glad to be done with the pain!

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your kind response to my laser back surgery. I just want people to know that they do not have to suffer... there are options. Everytime I bend down to pick something up, I am thankful for discovering North American Spine. Thanks again Mark.
