| Re: important question
It is likely a spacer or implant used to maintain the disc space. I have one in my lumbar area where the disc was removed but they want to maintain the prior disc height. You need to call your doctor's office and speak to his nurse if you want a specific answer to this question. I know you've asked this question a few times and you'll only find the answer if you call your surgeon's office. Also, call the hospital or surgical facility where the surgery was performed and ask them if they can send you the surgical report from your procedure (or if needed you can pick it up). It will detail exactly what was done and the exact outcome. You can also get this from your surgeon's office.
