The repair of the diseased spinal segments often results in an even better mobility. Our patients greatly benefit from short recuperation, returning to work or other activities earlier and have significantly less future problems like adjacent level disease.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;When is the right time for surgical intervention?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>A surgery is principally the last resort. However, particularly in the cervical spine early intervention is often advisable in order to prevent neurological deficits and multi-level degeneration.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Which brands\/types of implants do you use, and why?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>We offer many different brands \/ types of implants for various surgical solutions. When it comes to quality and applicability, not all implant types come into question. In fact, there are special criteria that demand diligent differentiation during the indication process, e.g. your individual pathology or anatomy. Understanding how and why the indications may differ is important and something to discuss with your senior surgeon.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Have the implants been extensively tested and researched?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>In Germany, all medical devices (which includes spinal implants) must have undergone extensive scientific evaluation and have a proven track record. Using nonfusion technology, Germany has a long tradition of over 25 years. We only use surgical techniques that have been approved by the German authorities and provide an advantage to other methods.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Should I rather trust a senior neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>ONZ Spine department is a neurosurgical center specialized in spine. Our vertebrate spinal column provides intrinsic protection to the neural elements. Most spine diseases involve nerval structures including stenosis, disc herniations, adhesions, and scar tissue. Surgical solutions belong in the hands of experienced neurosurgeons. Principally, also orthopedic surgeons can specialize in lumbar spine surgery (as opposed to cervical interventions which are merely the field of neurosurgery) if surgeons are meticulous and precise.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Lumbar&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1567649589646-2e1327a9-b526&#8243;][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Can I expect complete mobility again?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>Regaining complete mobility is always the goal. The repair of the diseased spinal segments often results in an even better mobility. Patients with an indication for (even complex) motion preserving lumbar solutions generally return to a fully active lifestyle again. This includes strenuous professional or leisure time activities without restrictions.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;What pain level should I expect after surgery?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>Pain is subjective and individually different. There are basically three post-surgical stages: The immediate post op pain management may include epidural catheter, opiates, narcotics, and anti-inflammatory medication. During rehabilitation, the pain management needs to be adjusted according to the individual demand. During the third stage pain medication will be gradually tapered off. The ultimate goal is a life without pain medication. When this is achieved is also individually different and can be expected after 2 weeks to 6 months.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Am I a candidate for the ESP or M6 discs?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>Not everyone is a good candidate for artificial disc replacement (ADR) with the ESP or M6 discs. When radiologic findings and symptoms correlate and conservative therapies have only resulted in more frustration, we may advise for a surgical solution. The ONZ team of specialists offer a wide range of surgeries with very high success rates. However, not all implant types come into question. Understanding how they may differ and which one is applicable for your anatomy is important and something to discuss with your senior surgeon.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;Have the implants been extensively tested and researched?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>In Germany, all medical devices (which includes spinal implants) must have undergone extensive scientific evaluation and have a proven track record. Germany has a long tradition of over 25 years using nonfusion technology. We only use surgical techniques that have been approved by the German authorities and provide an advantage to other methods.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8221;How satisfied are your patients with their spine solution?&#8221;]<\/p>\r\n<p>It is your body, and you owe it to yourself to know all you can about what is involved before you decide if a surgical procedure is right for you. Development in spine surgery is progressing rapidly and our experienced neurosurgeons remain on the forefront of state-of-the-art technology. Because of our dedication and ability to evolve with the technology, we have experienced a patient satisfaction rate that exceeds 95%.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tour][vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More Questions?<\/strong> Talk with your expert liaison.<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"plethora_button wpb_content_element   text-center \">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/onzspine.com\/contact-us\/\" debug class=\" btn btn-primary with-icon icon-left\" title=\"Begin Evaluation\"  target=\"_self\">\n\n         <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i> \n        Begin Your Evaluation\n        \n\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>[vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwaWQlM0QlMjJ0aGluZ3MtdG8tZG8lMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZkaXYlM0U=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row color_set=&#8221;white_section&#8221; full_width=&#8221;0&#8243; full_height=&#8221;0&#8243; sep_top=&#8221;separator_top sep_angled_positive_top&#8221; sep_bottom=&#8221;separator_bottom sep_angled_positive_bottom&#8221; particles=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column]<div class=\"section_header subtitle_bottom   fancy text-left\">\n\n    <h2>Things to Do<\/h2>\n\n\n        <p >Tourist Information<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">No travel for surgery should ever be considered a\u00a0<span class=\"markanp9flwn3\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\">pleasure<\/span> trip, but if you wish to incorporate some vacation time in your travels, some patients are comfortable doing some light traveling \/ sight seeing before surgery or after they are discharged from Medicos rehab (before surgery is usually better).\u00a0 Remember, all surgery involves some degree of trauma \/ pain, and your focus will not likely be on <span class=\"markanp9flwn3\" data-markjs=\"true\" data-ogac=\"\" data-ogab=\"\" data-ogsc=\"\" data-ogsb=\"\">pleasure<\/span>, day tours in the days and weeks following surgery.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1567738854472{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner]\t\t\t<!-- Cool Timeline PRO V4.6.2 -->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ctl-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"cool_timeline_1\" class=\"cool-timeline-wrapper ctl-horizontal ctl-horizontal-wrapper ctl-horizontal-timeline ctl-design-2 light-skin\" data-items=\"\" data-start-on=\"0\" data-autoplay=\"false\" data-autoplay-speed=\"3000\" data-load=\"\" data-nav=\"hide\" data-line-filling=\"false\" data-nav-pos=\"right\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ctl-start\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Timeline Container -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ctl-timeline ctl-timeline-container\" data-animation=\"none\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Center Line -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ctl-inner-line\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Timeline Content --><div  id=\"ctl-story-3064\" class=\"ctl-story ctl-story-icon odd ctl-story-right\"  data-story-index=\"1\"><!-- Story Icon --><div class=\"ctl-icon\"><i class= \"fa fas fa-thumbtack\" aria-hidden =\"true\" ><\/i><\/div> <!-- Story Arrow --><div class=\"ctl-arrow\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<!-- Story Content --><div class=\"ctl-content\"><!-- Story Title --><div class=\"ctl-title story-3064\"><a target=\"_self\" title=\"Cologne Cathedral\" href=\"https:\/\/www.koelner-dom.de\/home\/\" class=\"story-link\">Cologne Cathedral<\/a><\/div><!-- Story Media --><div class=\"ctl-media full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/onzspine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/onz_germany_cologne_cathedral-3-400x225.jpg\" class=\"story-img wp-post-image\" alt=\"Cologne Cathedral\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onzspine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/onz_germany_cologne_cathedral-3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/onzspine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/onz_germany_cologne_cathedral-3-400x225-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/div><!-- Story Description --><div class=\"ctl-description\"><strong>Cologne, Germany<\/strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nCologne Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Germany.
