... W 3 level spinal microsurgery laminectomy.
The laminectomy is sorta like a "Roto-Rooter" to clean out the three tight spits that I am pointing out on his MRI. Surgical time 1 h 49 minutes.
Should be able to stand and walk much better and will go home tomorrow.
A good day.

How can we care for scoliosis and kyphosis and spondylolisthesis better with conservative care like physical therapy, high-tech scoliosis braces, exercise and other techniques? What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world? How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?
