Minimally invasive procedures we offer
We can stabilize joints, decompress pinched nerves, fuse bones and correct deformities using only simple, small incisions. We do this by performing a variety of minimally invasive spine surgeries, including:
- Disc replacement surgery— Replaces your damaged disc with an artificial one
- Discectomy or microdiscectomy —Removes all or part of the cushion between the vertebrae
- Foraminotomy—Extracts your bone or tissue to create space where the nerves leave the spine
- Kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty — A balloon and medical cement are used to create and fill space in your spine
- Laminectomy or laminotomy — Removes the part of your backbone that covers the spinal canal
- Spinal fusion — Joins two vertebrae using bone grafts or implants, such as rods and screws
Robotic spine surgery
Our spine surgeons perform extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) and axial lumbar interbody fusion (AxiaLIF), which is a minimally invasive spine surgery for the lower back. We offer minimally-invasive-surgery that helps your surgeon more accurately place implants along your spine.
During your procedure, the surgeon takes images to determine the size and placement of implants, then creates a plan based on your anatomy. With a computer system guiding the robotic arm to a specific region of the spine, your surgeon is able to monitor the position of the instruments and implants through real-time viewing on the screen.
The system not only provides benefits to you, but to your operating room staff, as well. Traditional spine surgeries require multiple low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) scans throughout the procedure. The improved imaging of the new system greatly reduces that need, and greatly reduces the amount of radiation exposure you endure.
Our private and spacious patient recovery rooms on the third floor offer you a concierge service with amenities in a comforting and quiet setting.
