I am scheduled for the same, aug 28,08. Miinmally invasive, grade 2 spondy, no disc left between L-4 and L-5. Moderate stenosis.My Surgeon helped pioneer the Minimally invasive part. He will be placing spacers b/t the vertebrae--instead of cage or bone graph. Good, I think. Since this is Transverse access to the vertebrae, that means they go in at an angle, virtually break off a part of the facet bone, I think, to gain access. I'm frightened that if the fusion is not a success, will I be more unstable than before?

Has anyone that has been through this. I am scared to death!! I am really needing some success stories from this procedure.

Your post has been relocated to a new thread. Please do not post to a thread older than 60 days old.

Lastly, do not chat on someone else's thread about your own issues. This takes away from the original posters post which is unfair. Also it does not allow your post to receive the attention it deserves.

Thank you.
