Sciatica Surgery, Dr. John Small - Florida Orthopaedic Institute
Randy Mobley: I run Southern Exchange Charters, it’s a guide service and when you stand on your feet eight to 10 hours a day, it takes a toll on your back. It’s been about a year and a half ago, I had a sciatica nerve problem. It’s almost an excruciating pain that you can’t stand. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t do anything. Dr. Small: I think a reasonable goal in patients who have spinal conditions is to get them back functioning at the level that they want to function. He had actually nerves being pinched in his spine, at the L5 nerve root which comes out right here was getting pinched again, as it’s coming out of the spine. In this case, we used a new procedure on him called the iO-Flex. You can do that minimally invasive (01:00) through a small incision. Once you know that you’re safely away from the nerve, you can actually pass an instrument through that actually will cut the bone and/or the soft tissue away from the nerve. I think it has been very successful in the cases that we’ve done. Dr. Small: When he came in to see me in the recovery, I told him right then, I said, “The pain’s gone.” He fixed it and two weeks later, I was up and going like nothing had ever happened. Dr. Small: What I really like about spine surgery is seeing people improve. Randy Mobley: I went from being in a wheelchair back to standing up, doing what I wanted to do. That’s a big step. It’s been a plus for me, I can tell you that.
