Nerve issues and surgery time
I did speak with someone at Stenum and brought up these issues, first, nerve pain; it seems the nerves don't always respond or recover quickly and sometimes never do, each persons situation is unique. Too much decompression may be as risky as too little. I spoke with several cervical ADR patients and the results vary. The key seems to be don't rush to conclusions or second surgeries, give it time. Regarding the number of surgeries done at Stenum in one day. They tell me that there are other surgeons involved in the process, while Ritter-Lang is the surgeon that does the implant, a vascular surgeon is always involved and their cheif of surgery may also scrub in, They may do most of the access and closing, and Ritter-Lang may only do the implant process. His experience, thousands of ADR procedures, combined wirh an improved implantation process he was involved in developing, has shortened the ADR process, reduced blood loss and improved overall success. Still researching but this M6 looks like the best option.
