apresentar a minha experi\u00eancia em pr\u00f3tese de disco lombar no tratamento da doen\u00e7a discal de um n\u00edvel. \n\u00c9 sempre uma responsabilidade falar dos pr\u00f3prios resultados \u2014 obriga-nos a ser honestos com aquilo que fazemos.\n\nFoi tamb\u00e9m muito bom reencontrar dois nomes que marcaram o meu percurso na cirurgia por via anterior: o Dr. Alejandro Peir\u00f3 e o Dr. Ignasi Catal\u00e1. Aprendi muito com ambos, e continuo a aprender.\n\nPor fim, uma palavra para o grupo do Porto que fez esta viagem comigo. Os congressos vivem das aulas, mas tamb\u00e9m daquilo que se conversa entre elas.\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\n\n\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7Two great days at the 6 Spine Open Meeting in Madrid.\n\nA sincere thank you to Medcomtech and to Dr. Carlos Villanueva Leal for the invitation to present my experience with lumbar disc replacement in single-level disc disease. Talking about your own results is always a responsibility \u2014 it forces you to be honest about what you actually do.\n\nIt was also a pleasure to reconnect with two names who shaped my path in anterior spine surgery: Dr. Alejandro Peir\u00f3 and Dr. Ignasi Catal\u00e1. I have learned a lot from both of them, and I continue to learn.\n\nA final word for the group from Porto who made this trip with me. Congresses live on the lectures, but just as much on the conversations between them. @medcomtech\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sbi_item sbi_type_carousel sbi_new

o testemunho do que aconteceu ao meu irm\u00e3o. Ao mesmo tempo agradecer profundamente ao Sr. Dro. Rafael Portela pelo profissionalismo e empenho naquilo que faz. \u00c9 um excelente cirurgi\u00e3o ortopedista que operou o meu irm\u00e3o \u00e0 coluna, depois ter tido uma queda onde teve fraturas grav\u00edssimas, n\u00e3o sentia as pernas e perdia urina sem sentir. S\u00f3 passado 3 dias \u00e9 que concordou em ir ao hospital, pois da cinta para baixo n\u00e3o sentia nada. Podia ter ficado paralisado. Felizmente, com a ajuda de Deus que guiou a m\u00e3o deste excelente m\u00e9dico cirurgi\u00e3o, o meu irm\u00e3o est\u00e1 perfeitamente bem. Tem pr\u00f3tese em v\u00e1rios elos da coluna, mas caminha muito bem e est\u00e1 muito bem! \ud83d\ude4f<br>\nMuito obrigada Sr. Dro.

Ignasi Catal\u00e1. Aprendi muito com ambos, e continuo a aprender.\n\nPor fim, uma palavra para o grupo do Porto que fez esta viagem comigo.

Talking about your own results is always a responsibility \u2014 it forces you to be honest about what you actually do.\n\nIt was also a pleasure to reconnect with two names who shaped my path in anterior spine surgery: Dr. Alejandro Peir\u00f3 and Dr. Ignasi Catal\u00e1. I have learned a lot from both of them, and I continue to learn.\n\nA final word for the group from Porto who made this trip with me.
