How a second lumbar fusion is done entirely depends on the first fusion. If the second surgery is a revision of a failed disc, I may be able to replace the fusion and use an artificial disc in its place. If it’s to fuse another disc, I may opt to place an artificial disc above or below the fused disc in that case.

Replacing fusion can restore motion and provide relief. In this video, I share a story about a real patient whose failed lumbar fusion he recently replaced with an artificial disc, producing life-changing results.
