Although the patient consented we've not revealed details of the injury, to protect their identity. The bone that's removed doesn't grow back and we only remove enough to get access. If we need to take more and worry about destabilising the spine then we can stabilise it all with screws and rods.

I could be wrong, but it would also explain why it didn't exit the body!

Truly amazing. I had no idea how small the incisions were until the bullet came out. It blew my mind. Wow.

I didn't realize just how zoomed in we were until you removed the bullet lol!! From my perspective, it looked like we were a couple feet above him, and the bullet was just gigantic haha!! P.S.- Brilliant work and explanations, made it far more interesting to understand what we're seeing. So thanks!! :))

I'm a psych grad student, but after taking physiological psych during undergrad, I was absolutely OBSESSED with neurology/surgery. Like, genuinely. The professor showed us several neurosurgery videos, but they were all in the brain, not spinal, and most of the students were grossed out or had to look away, but it was the first time in my life that I felt love at first sight for a field of study or job. But because I love my sleep too much and after hearing so many horror stories of o-chem courses, I decided to do the closest thing I could to neurology/surgery, clinical psychology in a hospital setting. The brain is the absolute best part of the body (and no I am not biased haha) and the things that neurosurgeons are able to do are truly mind-blowing. I am PRAYING that you continue to have patients who feel comfortable giving consent so that we can continue to see videos like this. I am so extremely happy I have found this channel because it's the exact kind of neuro medicine channel I have been looking for and it's my new favorite.

It's just so interesting!!!

And hey, if you ever want to take on an impossible-to-fix patient with treatment-resistant, diagnosed depression; Diagnosed BPD, possible anti-social personality disorder, etc. I'm struggling to find anyone willing to help me; Everyone says I cannot be fixed, but you could easily learn a bunch off someone who has no cure and few more rare mental illnesses all in 1 easy to work with mess of a human being. 🥲😆

I’m only a pre-med but I’ve always been interested in the spine and brain & even I got excited when I saw they removed the bullet successfully ! I was even more intrigued at how clear everything was and you made it so simple to understand💖

Surgeons are truly hero’s. What I just watched is a modern miracle. Thanks goodness we have people willing and able to pursue this skill.

Random viewer from QC, Canada here. Being a software engineer sometimes I feel like I chose the wrong domain, although I would probably not have been able to succeed in the required training as I was pretty lazy in university, I feel like the medical field is so much more rewarding/useful. I became super interested in everything medical related since we got our cat operated to his brain to remove a meningioma and in fact this is why/how I found this channel. I feel privileged (which applies to everyone with access to the Internet) to be able to see such sensitive operation being carried out, it is incredible.
