Thoracic Disc Herniation

Posted by albertsquirrel1 @albertsquirrel1, Dec 22, 2024

Has anyone had surgery at any of the Mayo locations for a herniated thoracic disc herniation?

@albertsquirrel1 Welcome to Connect. Not all spine surgeons work on the thoracic levels because the lungs are in the way. A deformity specialist would be good to consult because they do some big scoliosis surgeries. My neuro spine surgeon at Mayo Rochester is this type of surgeon. He is at Mayo Rochester and would be a good consultant for an opinion. If you wish to seek an appointment at Mayo, you can start with this link. You can request to see Dr. Fogelson. He is a very good surgeon.
