Doing a revision isn't the same thing as putting the device in an untouched spine. I'd ask specifically about how many revisions they've done. Scarring from the first procedure will make reoperation in the same area much more complicated and the need to remove the current ADR is going to make it a much more complicated procedure. While I'm not going to tell you that you have to go overseas, I'd be very wary of talking with anyone who's not at least into double digits for number of revisions they've performed and triple digits would be far better (though you may not find anyone meeting that)
