@rwdixon4 hi Bob, mine was minimally invasive but it’s still pretty invasive. Open surgery allows the surgeon to get in and access your spine better. I remember your x-rays and it makes sense that Dr. McClendon wants to have more access because he has to make several corrections to your spine. I truly don’t think you could be in better hands with him.🙏
And Happy Thanksgiving to you!
