Lumbar deformity correction refers to surgery to correct deformed spine structures due to a number of different conditions. These can include both scoliosis and kyphosis, though the underlying cause...
Scoliosis correction is a procedure done to correct the unnatural curvature of the spine that is the hallmark of scoliosis.
Dynamic stabilization provides vital support for the spine in the case of spinal deformity or degenerative discs, and is an alternative to standard spinal fusion techniques.
A revision laminectomy is sometimes necessary in the case that a disc herniates again after a microdiscectomy.
Spinal stabilization of the lumbar spine is necessary for many different reasons, but the primary goal is to provide strength and stability through the elimination of motion.
Revision microdiscectomy procedures are undertaken when the primary discectomy does not provide the desired results, or when compression symptoms return.
A minimally invasive discectomy in the cervical spine is a procedure that removes a herniated or degenerative disc through laparoscopic surgery, rather than traditional open surgery.
Cervical spinal stenosis and myelopathy requires spinal corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) in order to alleviate pain from bone spur buildup (arthritis).
Minimally invasive fusion for the cervical spine (the neck) is a beneficial procedure that is usually done in conjunction with a discectomy.
Cervical instrumentation is a term that refers to medical hardware used in surgery on the cervical spine. Most of this hardware is designed to be used during fusion procedures to provide rigidity and...
