Minimally Invasive Surgery and Motion Preservation
Whenever possible our surgeons emphasize minimally invasive surgery with smaller incisions and the preservations of our motion. This will enable the patient to get back to their active lifestyle, usually without limitation in the quickest possible timeframe. Many minimally invasive technologies are available and offer patients alternative treatments from the traditional, more invasive methods, such as spinal fusions. Even when a spinal fusion is warranted, minimally invasive techniques are often applied and can effectively expedite a patient’s treatment and recovery process to return to their active lifestyle with less downtime.
These Minimally Invasive Techniques Include:
- Lumbar microsurgery
- Lumbar microdisectomy
- Cervical microsurgery
- Cervical foraminotomy
- Cervical disc replacement
- Cervical laminoplasty
- MI Lateral interbody techniques
- MI Lumbar Fusiuon/TLIF
