Thank you for this ! Had my operation at Kings College Hospital London under Prof Strong - large incision some 9 inches - op twenty five years ago No problems at all since 👌
14 days ago, I had a 2 level c4-c5 and c5-c6. Objective is to regain arm strength. The procedure was conduced in São Paulo, Brazil. The first 3 days were difficult, but the recovery is quite fast now.
After a c1 fracture I was in a neck brace for a long time for it to heal. Once the c1 was fully healed it was noticed that c1 and c2 has partially fused naturally, not through surgery. Was wondeirng if they could be seperated to allow more movement. I am only 21 and want to be able to be active as this was a sports injury to begin with and I'd like to return to that lifestyle.
@@ShimSpineVideos Hello, yes much better now thanks. I was initially supposed to be having a ACDF at two levels. They did one level and then had problems with my airway pressures so had to abandon the operation. They then decided they would do the foraminotomies. The surgeon I had was Mr John Leach at Salford Royal who was brilliant.
My doctor told me that i have vertebrobasilar insufficiency.they did Doppler ultrasound to my neck and he told me many spurs on the facet joints blocks the blood. What can I do doc? In my country the doctors do not doing anything. I have lots of symptomps of this diseases. Can You help me about it

I play guitar and fear the worst--I cannot imagine life without it. But hearing this is inspiring
Thanks! That helped a lot! My surgeon has been kinda short on the hows and whys, lol.
Awesome - thanks for this video!!

How are You doing now
Well done...thank you.
Great video
Thanks for the video. Does insurance cover this? Is there any location nearest to Dallas Forth to get this done?
Do they ever do this from an anterior approach?
How much is this do get done?
Is it the same for a thoracic foramen depress???
It could be. The thoracic has slightly different anatomy. Sometimes, it may be more aggressive than this.

wondering if this is even a possibility in some cases, I understand you would definitely need more information to know exactly
How much for an ostephyte removal which is compressing nerve between c3-c4 with foraminotomy ?
I had 4 done at the same time. Was really painful afterwards.
I hope you are better now.

Dear Doc. If the bone spur blocks the blood that goes to brain, can you do this surgery also?
