Degen scoliosis and failed laminectomies done elsewhere fixed today

OR time 2 h 30 min
EBL 350 cc
Blood None
This guest had 2 prevoius laminectomies and got better for a short time after each one, then got much worse due to ongoing scoliosis collapse w restenosis.
Got excellent 4 level revision decompression w correction and stabilization of the deformity which will help prevent recurrance.

Tomorrow she will stand up and walk better.

Will spend 2-4 nights in hospital.
