Massive Disc Herniation. One-Inch Incision. Zero Narcotics.
This patient had three blown lumbar discs—L3 to S1.
The L3–4 herniation? One of the largest I’ve ever removed in my career.

We went in through a single one-inch incision, used the microscope and minimally invasive tools—no screws, no fusion, no long hospital stay.

Disc removed. Patient walked out.
Now six weeks later—no pain meds, over 80% symptom relief, and back to normal life.

This is what real minimally invasive spine surgery looks like.

Precision. Recovery. Results.

Showed up to work, ready to go—only to find out the only scrubs left are 2X. That’s right, two sizes too big for me. So here I am, drowning in fabric, feeling like a fifth grader wearing his dad’s clothes on career day.

Seriously, why do hospitals always run out of L and XL first? Guess I’ll just embrace the parachute fit and try not to trip over myself. 🤷‍♂️
