ProDisc-L Surgeon Education Program

The clinical success of ProDisc-L Total Disc Replacement surgery is dependent upon many factors, including patient selection, thorough discectomy and remobilization, and proper placement of the ProDisc-L implant within the disc space.
 
The ProDisc-L surgeon education program consists of three training modules designed to give surgeons the tools they need to perform ProDisc-L Total Disc Replacement surgery and achieve optimal clinical results. It combines classroom lecture, case study review, hands-on bioskills labs, and interactive live-surgery.

In order to perform ProDisc-L Total Disc Replacement surgeries, a surgeon must attend the ProDisc-L Forum and complete each of the following three training modules: 

  1. Design Philosophy, Indications and Patient Selection 
  2. Case Review
  3. Surgical Technique

Upon successful completion of ProDisc-L training, surgeons will be equipped with the necessary tools to perform ProDisc-L Total Disc Replacement, including:

  • Access to ProDisc-L implants and instrumentation
  • The highest quality OR technical support
  • Full support from reimbursement specialists to assist in obtaining insurance payments
