ADR Referral
I have been rebuilt by Dr. Zeegers. I received a Charite disc at L5/S1 in 2002 following a failed laminectomy in the states. Then, more recently two mobi-c discs at C5/6 & 6/7 in 2010. My neck was particularly difficult, and was recommended for a three level fusion in the states. I did have to return to Dr. Zeegers in 2012 (about 1 1/2 yrs after the first surgery) to have some revision work done due to my spine wanting to do its own fusion around one of the discs.
The revision was also successful, and I still have the two cervical discs and full range of movement. I'm a 51 year old woman and play very competitive tennis 4-5 times each week, also some golf and martial arts. Dr. Zeegers has certainly given me my life back. |

Hi Hali.... nice to see you here! Thanks for posting. I'm sorry that you needed a revision, but please to read that it was successful. What was the revision? I assume that you were at the BetaKlinik in Bonn?
All the best, Mark
