Hasty Surgery -- Cervical ADR at Stenum

**bohnrods** · 04-28-2010, 12:41 PM

Does anyone on this site realize the real outcomes of stenum patients? Sure they give you all the positive outcome patients, does anyone know what happens to patients with bad results? I was a stenum patient and I know about a lot of bad results from this hospital. Anyone can contact me for proof. Check out stenumnightmare.com and begin your journey toward reality.

Hi Bohnrods

and

We do not allow any bashing on this side, spine surgery is not perfect.
All spine surgery no matter where you have it done may have bad outcomes, lets keep it positive

Gil, I am merely posting facts! The truth will set you free. Maybe you should go to my website and check out some facts.
I believe there is a big difference between truth and bashing. What do you know about stenum hospital? A patient experience? Surgery?

Bohnrods,

They gave you the wrong implant!?! And lied to you about it later!? You wanted a ProDisc, they sold you on an M6, gave you a Prestige, and then continue to tell you that you have an M6 when the x-ray shows a Prestige!? That's outrageous.

I have two M6's, and an x-ray to prove it; it shows my two prior fusions and titanium plate. It's probably not any consolation, but my surgeon (Pablo Clavel, Barcelona Spine Center) preferred the Prestige over the M6. He implanted the M6's only at my insistence. Again, I know it's no consolation, but all cervical ADRs are subject to autofusion. I've read that the Bryan is the most susceptible, and the M6 is the least. I hope my M6's don't autofuse, because I'll then have four adjacent cervical fusions.

Too bad you have no realistic recourse.

I visited your site and I do understand the confusion as to what you actually did get implanted but the Prestige is a good implant and it was originally planned for your surgery. Sure there should not be confusion regarding what was implanted and you should see the surgeon in the days afterwards to discuss what was done and is seen on the xray.
I don't understand the comment abot scraping away bone to make room then stuffing it in and sewing back up. That is basically what is done with all of them.
Your 10 points in your story are not well researched. A lot of this willl happen to you more or less at any offshore hospital and not just Stenum. You need to be a little more specific. Follow up once you are home is always a carefull consideration. You are very fortunate to have insurance pay for your treatment. Do people actually pay with dollars in the lobby??? I thought one prepaid using a wiretransfer. Your details need to be more precise and correct if you want the reader to take the site seriously and not just another bashing attempt, even if you state the facts are real.

I think this topic belongs elsewhere, not under introductions.

I would also be mad if I went over there to get a soft disc like the M6 and got stuck with a hard disc.

Fuzzy, Just for the record, stenum hospital is notorious for hasty surgery! Do you know they turn down no-one. Can you please explain how my 10 points are not well researched. They are ALL from first hand knowledge. Ask me specifically any questions you like or private message me and I`ll call you back! As far as weather the facts are real open your mind and look at the documents. I am clearly challenging anyone to contest my information. Are you a doctor or something? You seem to act like you have some type of experience. What do you know about stenum or their track record? My site is 100% fact! I don`t think you know anything about stenum hospital. Bohnrods

Bohnrods,

Thank you for sharing your personal experience with Stenum. I understand your frustration with your situation. As with any surgeon / clinic, Stenum has had both "good" and "bad" results. However, I believe that it's inappropriate to paint Stenum with such a wide brush by making gross generalizations or talking in such absolute terms.
