What is a ir 100 custom procedure exactly? i'm supposed to schedule on for my lumbar disc herniation l5-s1. curious about actual details of procedure.

Back pain: Ask your surgeon to explain the procedure using your MRI studies, models of the spine, and brochures. Risks, benefits, and alternative treatments should be discussed as part of the informed consent. IR stands for interventional radiology. Apparently, a radiologist is perfoming your procedure. It is reasonable to ask how many of these procedures has her/she performed and the expected recovery.
