A member asked:
What is success rate of spinal disc replacement surgery of lower back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Selection: The most important factor in most spinal surgeries is selection. That being said, in a perfect candidate for disc replacement with what would be described as purely discogenic pain at a single level in the lumbar spine the success rate is approximately 80-90 percent good results.
