Incredibly proud of our graduating #residents Stathios Kondylis, Roger Murayi, and Ben Whiting. Congratulations on your 7 years of hard work and bright future careers in #Neurosurgery. #graduation #Medtwitter #MedEd #Chiefs
Great thoughts everyone! Required several stages with hardware removal, washouts, irrigating wound vac. Ultimately placed a hyperlordotic XLIF cage at L4/5 to help get correction with re-instrumentation. Luckily no infx in the disc space.
TLIF is not necessarily a “kyphosing” procedure as some suggest. With good carpentry and strategic releases lordosis can be maintained or even improved. #neurosurgery
Every patient that comes in for lumbar stenosis is also examined for cervical myelopathy.
It’s the best specialty!

POSTED WITH PERMISSION! One of my incredible patients who is 14 months postop from a revision scoliosis surgery (out of her wheelchair and walking!) baked me this incredibly detailed Star Wars themed cake after she found out I was a fan….complete with my bald headed figure on…
Happy Doctors’ Day to all of the @ClevelandClinic neurosurgeons & colleagues!
Make surgical decisions with your patients, not for them.
