When I had my spine fused, they went through my stomach to remove the disk and put the metal cage in, then they go in through the back to put the screws and stuff in.

I have a scar front and back.

You're braver than me! I have scoliosis and 2 herniated disks in the lumbar spine....right in the middle of a curve. And there they will stay. I know a 20 something young lady who had surgery and she's worse now.

Did yours help?
