Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
Minimally invasive lumbar decompression is a procedure designed to debulk hypertrophied LF with a goal of relieving neural compression causing symptoms of neurogenic claudication. mild selectively removes small portions of ligament and leaves no implants behind.
Microdiscectomy
A microdiscectomy is generally considered a minimally invasive surgery, as there is minimal disruption of the tissues and structures in the lower back.A variation of the microdiscectomy surgery is an endoscopic microdiscectomy.
Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF)
Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of damaged intervertebral disc and bone, and fusing of two adjacent spinal vertebrae.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion is a surgery to treat disc problems in the low back. Fusion locks together two or more bones to stop painful motion and correct their alignment. Through an incision in the front of the belly, the disc is removed.
Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (XLIF)
The XLIF (eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion) is an approach to spinal fusion in which the surgeon accesses the intervertebral disc space and fuses the lumbar spine (low back) using a surgical approach from the side (lateral) rather than from the front (anterior) or the back (posterior).
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a contemporary approach to spinal fusion surgery. It is an operation performed on the lower back to remove an intervertebral disc and join two or more spinal bones (vertebrae) together using screws and a cage.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy/Corpectomy and Fusion
Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is performed for patients with symptomatic, progressive cervical spinal stenosis and myelopathy. It is performed to remove the large, arthritic osteophytes (bone spurs) that are compressing the spinal cord and spinal nerves.
Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy
Posterior cervical foraminotomy is a minimally invasive surgery to enlarge the space where the nerve root exits the spinal cord, known as the neural foramen. This procedure also may remove any part of the spinal disk pushing on the nerve.
Cervical Laminoplasty
Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical technique that removes pressure from the spinal cord in the neck that can be due to various reasons including degenerative changes, arthritis, bone spurs, disc herniations or fractures.
Posterior Cervical Instrumentation and Fusion
A posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion is a procedure used to decompress and stabilize the cervical spine. This relieves pain, weakness and numbness caused by narrowing of the spinal canal, a condition called spinal stenosis.
Posterior Spinal Fusion
This surgical operation involves pedicle screw instrumentation through incision at the returned. Bone graft is used to acquire spinal fusion. depending on the purpose of the surgery, collection of deformity correction manoeuvres or spinal osteotomes may be achieved via this method. This technique is a work horse for spinal deformity correction surgical procedure in conditions like scoliosis, kyphosis and spinal reconstructions
Minimally invasive SI joint fusion
Minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion is indicated for low back pain from the SI joint that is due to degenerative sacroiliitis and/or sacroiliac joint disruption. This technique is safe and effective in relieving pain uncontrolled by nonoperative management1-4
