Am I at higher risk for a repeat herniation?

If you are reading this, it is probably because your herniated disc hasn’t responded to nonsurgical treatments. Before you proceed with discectomy surgery, however, you should be aware of the potential risks.

If the hole in your disc is larger than height of a standard pencil-top eraser, your chance of reherniation can be as high as 27%1. Barricaid closes the hole and reduces your chance of reoperation for reherniation by 81%2.

Did you know that the pressure in a disc is 10x that of a car tire?

Barricaid is a bone-anchored implant used following a discectomy that is designed to close the hole in the disc and prevent reherniation. Barricaid has the potential to allow your surgeon to preserve more of your natural pathology4 and get you back to your daily activities, such as work5, sooner.

Barricaid is the only FDA-Approved device designed for closing the hole in the disc following a discectomy.

  • Some studies outside US indication. Minimum 1 year post-op. Minimum study size of 20 Barricaid subjects.

Dr. Graham is a great man, who cares about those of us on the Big Island, who have no Neurosurgeons here to choose from; but after all of his years of providing care for us, he continues to travel here for our benefit.

Dr. Graham performed a disc replacement on my C6-C7. The surgery was in the morning and I walked out and was resting comfortably at home by the afternoon. I only needed Ibuprofen for the recovery and I was out and about the next day.

He’s the best Neurosurgeon I’ve had. I’ve had a microdisctomy and will have a XLIF Spinal fusion surgery with him in the future. The staff that works with him is excellent. They listen to the patients needs and assist Dr. Graham will treatment plans
