Proper Patient Selection for Spine Surgery | Dr. Todd Lanman
There are two facets of proper patient selection for spine surgeries:
1️⃣ Determining whether someone is the right patient for spine surgery
2️⃣ Determining what type of surgery is most appropriate for that patient
I have a unique process to ensure he finds the right solution for every patient. I first pre-screens patient scans before consultations to ensure a solution is possible through surgery. Then, I spend an hour with each patient during their consultation, hearing about their life and pain story, examining them, and working together to choose the best surgery solution.
