Discseel Procedure: No Public Lawsuits Yet, But Questions Remain About Safety and Efficacy
While no public lawsuits against SpineOvations, the developer of the Discseel procedure for chronic back pain, have been identified as of October 4, 2023, the lack of legal action doesn’t guarantee its absence. Ongoing or settled lawsuits might exist, raising concerns about potential risks and limited long-term research on the procedure.
Discseel Procedure:
- Minimally invasive treatment for chronic back pain caused by annular tears in spinal discs.
- Involves injecting fibrin sealant into the torn disc to seal it and promote healing.
- Relatively new procedure with limited long-term data on safety and efficacy.
Potential Lawsuit Concerns:
- Lack of public lawsuits doesn’t preclude their existence (ongoing or settled cases).
- Questions regarding potential risks like infection, nerve damage, sealant leakage, and tear recurrence.
2020 Pilot Study:
- Announced positive interim results for pain and disability reduction.
- Limited scope necessitates further research to confirm findings.
Important Considerations:
- Discuss risks and benefits thoroughly with your doctor before undergoing the Discseel procedure.
- Inquire about available long-term safety and efficacy data on the procedure.
