Minimally Invasive Surgery and Motion Preservation
Whenever possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive surgery with smaller incisions. This will enable you to get back to your active lifestyle, usually without limitation, as quickly as possible. Many minimally invasive technologies are available and offer alternative treatments from traditional, more invasive methods, such as spinal fusions. Even when a spinal fusion is warranted, minimally invasive techniques can effectively expedite the treatment and recovery process, so you can return to your active lifestyle with less downtime.
These minimally invasive techniques include:
- Lumbar microsurgery
- Lumbar microdisectomy
- Cervical microsurgery
- Cervical foraminotomy
- Cervical disc replacement
- Cervical laminoplasty
- Lateral interbody techniques
- Lumbar fusiuon/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
