Endoscopic spine surgery on Kevin "Cub" Swanson, a UFC fighter
Kevin "Killer Cub" Swanson is a UFC fighter in the hall of fame. This video explains the work-up, diagnosis, and treatment of his low back pain and sciatic using an endoscopic technique by Dr. Sohrab Gollogly, MD. Cub had a combination of facet arthropathy causing low back pain and a facet cyst on the medial aspect of the facet joint causing inflammation and irritation of the S1 nerve, an important contributor to the sciatic nerve. The operation treated his sciatic pain by releasing the nerve from the adhesions and scar tissue that were tethering the nerve to the side of the spinal canal and preventing it from moving freely. A second procedure done at the same time, an endoscopic medial branch transection, interrupted the afferent nerve that carries pain signals from his facet joint to his brain. This procedure helped him avoid a more invasive surgery and return to combat sports without restrictions and after a relatively short recovery.

In this video, I discuss my personal technique for a far lateral discectomy where the herniation is located outside of the foramen, no foraminoplasty is necessary, and the essential maneuver required to visualize the herniation is to roll the endoscope inverted and look down on the herniation. When done correctly, this technique facilitates the retrieval of far lateral and extra foraminal disc ...

    Did this develop after the fusion surgery or was it there at the time of it but the osteophyte did not get removed then to decompress the nerve root? It sounds like a wonderful relief for the person and sad if it was the case that they suffered because of the nerve compression not getting cleared at the time of earlier surgery if it was present then. Maybe you are just stating the order of surgical procedures rather than the initial causing the second which ultimately took the pain away because the pain was coming from the nerve root compression?

    • @bernadettereed844

      Did the person need the fusion or just the foraminotomy or both? If both are arising together is it possible to treat both in one surgical procedure? I am asking because I have stenosis at the nerve exit points and if injections do not work CDR or ACDF has been proposed and I would hope that the nerve roots could be freed from the bone spurs as well as the body of the disc being replaced. With thanks if you can clarify.

      Planking! Start at one minute twice a day and increase slowly from there. Up to 3-4 mins. Do it before eating. Lose weight if you're overweight ... this takes pressure off your spine. Downward facing dog (gently) yoga exercise is good. Try to sit relaxed on a firm couch for ten mins a day. Move and turn slowly. The fissure takes up to two years to heal so try to be patient. Very hard but my best wishes to you. Good luck. @@cccc2740

    I call bullshit on much of this video. As someone that takes pain meds I have NEVER seen an advertisement by a pain med pharmaceutical company. Also, you make WILD generalizations that "many patients" are not educated about addictive properties of narcotics. It is an INSULT to the MILLIONS of patients that take pain meds responsibly AFTER trying other modalities of pain relief. This is a CLEAR CUT advertisement to advocate SURGERY over other choices. I am SICK of all this BULLSHIT that makes it sound like the MILLIONS of folks getting pain relief are addicts or soon to be addicts. #STOPTHEBULLSHIT #STOPTHEFEARMONGERING

After 2 minutes of her stopping all the pain comes right back to a 8-9 pain level! I cant lay in bed I have been sleeping in a recliner for about 5 years! I miss my bed so much! Also 4 months after surgery my left arm feels dead! And extremity painful! Doctor say to just keep going to physical therapy. I think the physical therapy is causing more damage. Before surgery it was my right arm that felt dead and extreme pain! now it switched, right arm is fine left arm is dead. But still have on and off every other hour both hands and arms BURN! Any advice would be so appreciated.
