Author: Age is not an issue rather quality of life for decisions regarding surgery. I operated on 95 year old doctor’s father who actually was up and left hospital second day after laminectomy and fusion three levels. He was still living in his own home and driving to places. I believe there many elderly patients that do not realize withproper planning and cautious surgery they can be helped. These patients do poorly with medication for pain.
