Surgery Saved My Life Extreme Spine Surgery (2006– ) watch online HD

Ghanaian-born New Yorker Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei is arguably the world's top surgeon of spinal deformities. We follow his most challenging surgery to date, to save the life a 15-year-old boy from Sierra Leone whose back is bent forward at almost 90 degrees. We also see him complete an eight-year-long surgical project on a 10-year-old girl from Long Island. Without Dr. Boachie, her bent back would have crushed her lungs and killed her at age 2. Now, at age 10, she's about to enter junior high, and Dr. Boachie must do one final surgery to free her from the back brace she has worn for almost a decade. The surgeries each carry huge risks - both children may emerge from them walking, or both may never walk again.
