This condition occurs as a result of the natural narrowing of the spinal canal. While some narrowing is normal, increased narrowing may compress the spinal cord causing a serious threat to general...
A microdiscectomy is a surgical procedure performed to provide decompression for spinal stenosis. When a portion of a disc herniates, a portion of its material can press on the spinal nerves and...
Minimally invasive fusion surgeries are necessary to provide spine stabilization, but they offer significant advantages over open fusion surgeries.
Minimally invasive XLIF and DLIF is a combined procedure used to achieve spinal fusion in patients with significant instability of the spine. This instability can be caused by fracturing, disease...
Instrumentation plays a vital role in improving spine health through surgical intervention. A variety of different hardware types and techniques is used to provide stabilization, pain reduction and an...
Lumbar hardware placement is essential for fusion in the vertebrae of the lumbar spine.
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.
