  • how much does this cost? dr, hosp, anesthesiologist, lab, everything total

  • well... we are in Taiwan, where there's national healthcare. Think the total cost for someone with healthcare receiving this operation runs less than $1000US (mostly depend on the charge for type of room) Of course, it would cost a lot more (about 10 times as much?) for someone without healthcare. (still very affordable if you consider the cost of international health services). Cases has to be selected though. Why do you ask? do you or someone you know need this operation?

  • yes, it's complicated, but patients improves faster and better this way.

  • looks like the bilateral compression makes the surgery alot more complicated.

  • That's just disgusting.. But it works, I guess..

  • Like, what the hell are we looking at? haha

  • spine. Removal of lamina (removed using a high-speed burr, irrigation and suction), thecal sac, nerve root, and removal of herniated disc (the part when the forcep is taking out white stuff). This is done with a 2cm wound under the microscope. Traditionally, surgeons only perform this surgery on either the left or right side. With better equipment and an understanding of the neuroanatomy, we can now perform this minimally invasive surgery for patients who have herniated disc on both sides.

  • um wtf is that?

  • intraoperative video... for people to see how it's done.
