Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine. In which patients are eligible for surgical treatment, Dr. Biren Desai, Chief Physician of the Department of Surgical and Conservative Spine Therapy at Sana Trinity Hospital Cologne, explains in the video.
I just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge and thank Dr. Biren Desai for performing what I consider a life changing surgery for me. I am not a social media divulger, but maybe some people need to hear my story.
I am very grateful for the years of study and experience that Dr. Desai has spent in becoming such a skilled surgeon. And, now I can move again and participate in activities that add such joy to life.
My journey choosing an artificial lumbar disc and spine surgeon. My thorough research led me to the LP-ESP artificial disc. Then I searched for a top surgeon with lots of disc replacement experience. Dr. Desai has been implanting artificial discs since 2004.
Justina Czarnetzki has a long medical history. "I can hardly remember a time in my life when I didn't have back pain," says the 45-year-old, who first noticed something was wrong with her spine when she was 12.
Dilara's scoliosis was treated with ApiFix. The new method of surgery is considered relatively gentle and preserves mobility. The young patient is happy about her decision. However, she and her mother Filiz still remember the emotional chaos in the run-up to the procedure.
