  • Super! Hope you go to Prof. Dr. Bertagnoli and not a lesser surgeon.  The right surgeon is the key to success.

  • Tvicknair, what kinda artifical disc did they put in you???? There are different kinds. I think it' s pretty much up to the doctor. I had mine done in the states by the way.

  • Prodisc-C. No screws, no metal-to-metal contact, therefore no metal ions in the blood or liver. The new Prodisc-C Nova is the latest, which is specifically designed for multi-level surgery, semi-constrained and off set keel design with virtually no MRI artifacts. Best wishes.

  • Thanks for posting this video! Did they offer replacement or fusion surgery? What made you decide to have the surgery? I have a C6-C7 herniation and your comments about not knowing what it feels like to not be in pain really hit home for me. I am so scared and confused on what to do.

  • The orthesis (brace) is a safety device. In about 5% of the cases the ADR will migrate due to sudden patient movements. As a result of using the brace, Dr. B. has had no migrations due to sudden patient movements. Many of these movements and subsequent migrations occur during sleep. Better safe than sorry.

  • Congrats! I am doing it!
