Your link didn't open, so I did a google on jho procedure and was sent to

the same link. Unsure why, but reading about it now.

Interesting. I guess if you knew you had stenosis without needing disc

replacement. I know they are doing the following procedure now where I

work. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mda/docs/P060018.html It is done with the

anterior approach as well.

This is not something I'm familiar with. We didn't do any minimally invasive

surgery on a regular basis in Boston. As of last year, they hadn't developed a

good technique. The one thing that is an issue with minimally invasive surgery,

when it comes to spine, is that the docs are working in a small area with very

poor visibility. Because of this, the liklihood for mistakes is much higher.

There's a lot of nice, juicy nerves just outside the field of view, which are

now highly susceptible to damage. I'm not saying don't go for it, simply...be

informed. ---
