Cool Stuff.
Dr. Vaccaro was the surgeon who approved the disk replacement for my Workers Comp case. He only did Charite at the time so I didn't go to him for my surgery. He was very thorough, caring, and smart. If he did Prodisc or Maverick I would have gone to him. This is great news for spine patients. Regeneration is the next logical step in spine surgery and it's nice to see they are pushing forward with it. If stem cells are used, the newest technology takes stem cells from the embryotic sac, not damaging the baby at all, which should keep the religious fanatics quiet.
