M6 and Prodisc. Search Dr. B's name too, especially after surgery care.
After you do more reading, I think you'll sway away from Dr. B.

It's scary enough to go overseas for a surgery but imagine having a problem when you
get back and you can't get in touch with your doctor.
You want to be able to reach the doctor..not the nurse, or staff but the doctor.

You are doing the right thing by researching on your own.
Back surgeries are the doctor's "business". This is where the money lies.
You want what is best for you not what's best for them.
Keep reading and asking questions.
I personally would never get a Prodisc. Read too many bad things about it.

The best part about this forum is everyone shares their experiences.
The surgical outcome section is great to read as many people have tried to keep up many years of posts. Good luck with your decision. Keep reading
Vicki;

Your spot on with doing a google search for lawsuits for prodisc and M6 . Actually through an initial check I couldn't find any lawsuits from patients for M6 so I anticipate that this speaks to their success and satisfied patients.

How are you making out with your M6 implant?

I've also read that fusion is a reliable option to ADR for the L5/S1 level as this disc level does not provide much movement. Any thoughts?

Kind regards,
Bruce
