What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world?

Afternoon surgery: removing the "pebble in my shoe":

L5S1 disc herniation w severe L leg sciatica.
Surgical time: less than 1 hour.
Findings: large L L5S1 free frament disc, removed in one piece --- the pebble in shoe phenomenon. It sure feels good to get that "pebble" out and off the nerve root!
