I would like to tell you a story about Helen Daniels.

Helen Daniels is a 103 year old woman who had spinal surgery, a Balloon Kyphoplasty, 3 years ago at the age of 100 that saved her life, by myself, Dr. Kenneth K. Hansraj, MD, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon.

"She was mentally sharp and medically healthy" in order to withstand this procedure. Without this surgery she would have already been deceased due to old age, the tolls of being in a bed ridden state and the inability to walk or live her life the way it was.

Since surgery, Helen has been able to reclaim her life and live again. She is able to walk and stand up straight and enjoy tasks of everyday living. This is an amazing story of hope and inspiration as Ms. Daniels reached her 103 rd birthday back in December 2011.

This is an excellent segment to produce and share with the world. A little knowledge goes a long way and in the case of Ms.Daniels, it has gone an extra 3 years!

Please see the amazing progress and stories of Helen at www.drken.us/experiences.

Hello,

My name is Daniel Goldberg and I am contacting you in regard to a potential story. This story regards Dr. Richard Kaul who is the lead physician at New Jersey Spine and Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Kaul is a Board Certified Minimally Invasive Spine Specialist. His area of expertise is the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions using Minimally Invasive Techniques. Dr. Kaul specializes in cases of Artificial Disc Replacement, Total Disc Replacement, Spinal Fusion, Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections and a plethora of other conditions.

In many cases of spinal injury, the patients quality of life has severely diminished. Dr. Kaul has committed himself to returning patients back to quality of life they enjoyed prior to their injury. What separates Dr. Kaul is his minimally invasive approach. Prior to the advent of these technologies many patients declined spinal treatment due to the drastic nature of traditional surgeries. This, coupled with the inherent risks of major surgeries and prolonged recovery time, left many sufferers feeling as if they had few options. Often, sufferers elected to leave their conditions untreated leading the condition to become debilitating.

Recently, there has been a proliferation in spinal injury cases. Dr. Kaul also realizes that in this unstable economic climate, many patients livelihood is contingent upon their ability to return to work and earn a paycheck. In many cases, patients walk out his office feeling instant relief and with minimal recovery time, thus allowing them to return to work exponentially sooner than with traditional surgeries.

The intent of this piece would not be a business expose`, instead a Human Interest piece to let those with spinal ailments know that there is relief available to them. Dr. Kaul’s primary objective is to return quality of life to those who have lost it. On NJSR’s website you can view countless testimonials of patients who have had overwhelmingly beneficial results from his procedures. Dr. Kaul also holds monthly seminars with doctors in various fields to stress the importance of multi-disciplinary care in a approach for complete Spinal Wellness. Also, his practice has Dr. Sekdub Datta, a specialist in the field of Pain Management. Dr. Datta was recently chosen as one of seventy of the best Pain Management Specialists in America and one of only 3 chosen from New Jersey.

Cataract surgery is the number 1 surgery done in the US. With the advancing age of Americans and the growing baby boomer population, information about cataracts and the surgical technology is very sought after. I am a Professor of ophthalmology and my specialty training is in cornea and cataract surgery. I practice at the University of California -- Irvine. I could come on the show and describe cataracts -- who gets it, what are the symptoms,how to slow its progression, and what the surgical removal entails.

I was diagnosed with c-toma in January,in April I had surgery. My surgeon post surgery was insistent that everything went well and the tumor was removed. I still kept having major problems and sought a 2nd opinion. In June it was discovered the 1st surgeon never removed the tumor and left a small foreign object in my head. C-toma is often unheard of and diagnosed incorrectly.

My daughter was born with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. It only affected her lower extremeties. She had physcial therapy and baclofen from the age of 1 to 3. About the time she turned 3, the physiatrist recommended a procedure called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR). She explained that it was a spinal surgery that cut the nerves that were reacting improperly. We were scared and tried Botox instead and kept hearing more about SDR and that a Doctor in St Louis was supposed to be the best in the world, Dr. TS Park. It was the hardest decision we have ever had to make, and it was the best of our lives. We were determiend to see the best in the world. We heard he would not do the procedure if the anticipated results were not beneficial. So there was a lot of preliminary paperwork and tests that we sent to St Louis from New York. The procedure was almost 4 hours long. 2 years later, our daughter who couldn't walk is walking independently. We know one family who went through 2 orthopaedic surgeries for each hip and each heel chord, and we know one other family who had SDR for their son about 6 months ago and is equally ecstatic about the results. While at a Conductive Learning Center, we talked with four other parents, none of whom had heard of this procedure. Why is this procedure seemingly hard to find and veiled in mystery? Did we make the right decision in the long run or is there something yet to come? When do you choose spinal surgery risks over those of orthopaedic surgeries?

I was recently diagnosed with serous endometraial carcinoma and endometreal cancer. I'm fine, they got it all, But the cool part was how they did the surgery. I tell everyone I had a sci-fi surgery. The doctor is not even at the OR table with me he is sitting at a machaine controling robotic arms that are preforming the surgery on me. I would really love to see how this was done and more about how they did this. I was not able to see how this was done seems how I was the one they were doing the surgery on. It is just so fasinating and very weard all at the same time. My mind is blown away how they did my surgery and not many people have heard about this kind of surgery. Who would have ever thought that robotic arms would be doing srugery on people while the doctor is not even with you at the OR table. It's like they are off playing a video game while these robotic arms are preforming the surgery on you. Very weard, very cool and very sci-fi. I had this surgery done to me and I would really like to see and know more about how this surgery is done.
