Because spinal surgery is such a high-risk procedure, the surgeons who specialize in this field at the University of Washington’s Harborview Medical Center operate on only 1,000 patients annually. In this program, these world-renowned experts assist a man with multiple spinal fractures, a woman who needs a bone transplant after her neck was broken in a car accident, a man who must undergo disc surgery to relieve chronic pain, and a 76-year-old woman nearly paralyzed by spinal stenosis. Viewer discretion is advised. A Discovery Channel Production. (46 minutes)
