Why Consider the Discseel® Procedure in your second opinion?
The Discseel® Procedure stands out as a promising alternative to traditional spine surgery for individuals dealing with back and neck pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and herniated discs.
Why Consider the Discseel® Procedure in your second opinion?
-Minimally Invasive Approach
This procedure is minimally invasive, requiring small incisions, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues. This approach leads to a quicker recovery time and minimizes postoperative discomfort compared to traditional spine surgery.
-Preserved Autonomy & Mobility
Unlike surgeries involving the removal of spinal structures or fusion of vertebrae, the Discseel® Procedure preserves the natural anatomy and mobility of the spine.
-Fibrin, a Natural Biologic
This procedure utilizes Fibrin, which is injected into disc tears for healing. This targeted biological approach distinguishes it from more invasive surgeries and promotes tissue growth and healing over the following months.
-Shorter Recovery Time
Patients undergoing the Discseel® Procedure experience a shorter recovery time compared to traditional spine surgery. This allows individuals to resume their activities sooner and gradually increase their level of activity.
-Natural Healing
The Discseel procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for spinal disc issues that involves injecting a specialized fibrin sealant into the damaged discs. This sealant promotes natural healing by encouraging the regeneration of healthy disc tissue and sealing any tears or leaks. As a result, patients can experience pain relief and improved disc function without the need for more invasive surgical interventions.
-Effective Treatment
The Discseel® Procedure offers an attractive option for individuals seeking effective treatment for spinal disc-related problems. It provides hope for patients looking to regain mobility and alleviate pain without undergoing spine surgery.
-Exploring alternative treatment options: Beyond surgical interventions, exploring non-invasive options such as the Discseel® Procedure, patients can effectively address back and neck pain while minimizing the need for surgical procedure.
-Seeking a second opinion: Seeking second opinions from healthcare professionals enables patients to explore a wider range of treatment options and perspectives, reducing the likelihood of unnecessary surgeries by ensuring thorough consideration of alternative approaches and potential risks.
-Deepening comprehension: Obtaining additional medical opinions leads to a deeper understanding of the condition, its underlying causes, and additional treatment options, empowering patients to make informed decisions that prioritize the safest approach possible.

Reduce Potential Complications with the Discseel® Procedure
Infection
Surgical site infections can affect the skin, muscles, or deeper structures around the spine and may require further surgery.
Nerve Damage
Spine surgeries carry the risk of nerve injury, which can result in temporary or permanent sensory or motor deficits.
Persistent Pain
Some patients continue to experience pain after surgery, either due to persistence of the original condition, the development of scar tissue, or other factors.
Hardware Complications
Surgeries involving the implantation of screws, rods, or artificial discs may have complications such as migration, breakage, or irritation of surrounding structures.
Adjacent Segment Degeneration
Fusion surgeries may increase stress on adjacent segments, potentially accelerating the degeneration of those segments over time.
Incomplete Relief of Symptoms
Some patients do not experience complete relief of their symptoms. This could be due to factors like incomplete decompression, nerve damage, or the multifactorial nature of certain conditions.
