Each revision case is unique and there are no hard and fast rules that apply.

Have they talked about CT-angio to get a clear picture of your vascular situation before a repeat abdominal surgery at L4-5?

What are they trying to accomplish by removing the discs... will they also do posterior surgery or will they do a stand alone cage with screws from the front?
