The barrier to keep damaged tissues from adhering to other structures... I was referring to products like SepraFilm, that are often placed between a damaged and its adjacent tissue to keep the damaged tissue from adhering to the adjacent tissue as it heals. I don't know if Dr Naftalis used this during each of my fusions, but Dr Clavel did use it during the ADR.

Dear Jeff:

I need to do surgery on the same levels as you and I am debating between having a mixed procedure in the US or having 3 level ADR in Germany or Barcelona. Based on your experience what do you think?

Also, don't understand why some people say ADR is only approved in the U for 1 level and I have seem post by people saying they had 3 level done by Dr. Delamarter. Actually he is one of the surgeons that proposed mixed procedure, ADR + fusion when Dr. Bierstedt clearly said 3 level ADR. Very confused....
