Need neurosugeon in Louisiana that performs cervical disc replacement surgery.?

Answer:
One artificial cervical disc expected to receive FDA approval is made by Medtronic. (See the press release below).

This is anticipated this summer so I don't think you'll find a list of surgeons that do the procedure (outside of research studies) before then.

(Remember, in a research study you may or may not get the "new" device - you may get the "standard of care")

Consider following Medtronic's website, etc. for info about the release. (There are also links to research studies for cervical disc conditions) I'd expect this to be a reliable source of info about surgeons using the device as well. Perhaps you can find a surgeon in the area that was involved in some of the research - they would have the most experience with the product.

It seems like a good option for cervical disc problems - I'll consider it for my next one!

Good luck!
