Dr. Seade did an excellent job on my torn rotator cuff repair! He also had to remove a bone spur and reattach my bicep muscle! My recovery has went very well and after 12 weeks I finally get to start strength training on my left shoulder and arm! I will be back barrel racing in no time!

I injured my shoulder over three years ago and had surgery to fix it (by a different physician). It just got progressively worse and I lived through it for three years.  I finally went to see Dr Seade for a full regular shoulder replacement.  It was an amazing experience!!!  He and his team are phenomenal!  I am going into the third month post surgery and doing strong in my PT.  The pain level is low, only sore muscles when I am doing PT.  A beautiful pain and I am on the trajectory to being me again!  Thanks to Dr. Seade and his amazing team!!!

Let me just tell you that if you need shoulder surgery there is only one place to go and that's Dr. Eddie Seade @ Orthopaedic Specialists of Austin. Dr. Seade and his entire staff take the cake when it comes to thoroughly lining out expectations, attention to details, detailed follow up and making sure that they answer all of your questions. Would not go anywhere else!!

Dr. Catlett took the time to explain the process of hip replacement and the robotics used He made my daughter and I very comfortable and confident with the procedure my daughter and granddaughter also will be having surgeries by these drs I would recommend them to anyone

Patient

Have you ever had a doctor send you emails every few days before and after a procedure? No? What about to encourage you, check to see how you’re doing, or instruct you on what physical therapy would be best to start at home after your surgery? No? Then you’re working with the wrong doctor! Dr. Seade was proactive in reaching out- And it was greatly appreciated I have already highly recommended him to a few of my friends and acquaintances. I can’t speak highly enough about the confidence he gave me before during and after my procedure, thank you.

Spinal Surgery Process

Minimally invasive surgery with our Austin, TX, practice can reduce muscle and tissue damage, shorten hospital stays and recovery times, and minimize the scarring associated with surgery.

Anesthesia

We'll use anesthesia to make the procedure comfortable and to calm any worries you have going into surgery. Since this is an extensive surgery, we likely will recommend general anesthesia, which will keep you in a sleep state for the duration of your treatment.

Small Incision

The first step in the endoscopic surgical process is creating a small incision to provide access for the tools and camera. This incision will be small enough to cause minimal scarring.

Inserting the Camera

The endoscopic technique uses a long, thin instrument called an endoscope, retrofitted with a camera, to view the inside of your body on a monitor.

Performing the Surgery

Your spine surgeon will perform surgery using small tools and computerized navigational techniques to provide conservative treatment and ensure accuracy.

Closing the Incision

Once the procedure is finished, the incision will be closed with sutures. Your spine surgeon will provide detailed instructions for the recovery process and schedule follow-up visits as necessary.
