Thread: Eichel to Montreal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>Who said I was a doctor? I am capable of finding and siting actual studies to support my claims like the following which actually sites the odds of failure at 26% (24 out of 91 surgeries).

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28632563/</div></div>

Read the Virginia Spine Institute, Dr. Ehsan Jazini says Cervical disc replacement surgery is 95% success rate. I've read numerous reports that say anywhere from 5-20% failure rate in the long term. It all depends on what you're actual problem is too. Say degenerative disc disease or what Eichel has, a herniated disc. One thing I do know is he's probably going to have one of the best neurosurgeons perform the surgery if he truly needs it. I do know a bit about this because I've had spinal fusion. I broke C3 through c7 in 1997 from a car accident.

Thread: Get Eichel
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny54</b></div><div>Here is what is being said on the Eichel surgery per John Vogl....didn't think it was fusion

Eichel has wanted to schedule an artificial disk replacement since suffering a neck injury in March. The organization says the procedure has never been done on an NHL player and it has no desire for its captain to be the guinea pig. Certainly, the Sabres are not alone in that anti-surgery stance, which cuts down the trade partners before even getting to salary, fit and talent. But Eichel’s camp is convinced he’ll be fine just two months after the surgery.</div></div>

From everything I read about artificial disc replacement surgery is that it's a rather effective surgery. The recovery time is shorter and has less complications. They just don't know the long term prognosis from it.
