Types of spine surgery we perform
Combining orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery, our dedicated spine team offers complete surgical solutions for spine conditions.
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses several small incisions, rather than one long incision. Surgeons use special surgical instruments with a tiny camera to guide the procedure. Compared to traditional surgery, this technique offers benefits, such as:
- Faster recovery
- Less pain after surgery
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
Reconstructive spine surgery
Our surgeons perform reconstructive surgery to straighten the spine and relieve pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Reconstructive spine surgery can treat problems in the different regions of the back, including:
- Cervical (neck)
- Thoracic (upper back)
- Lumbar (lower back)
- Sacral (tailbone)
Types of reconstructive surgery include:
- Spinal fusion surgery to permanently join two or more vertebrae
- Spinal disc replacement to replace a diseased disc with an artificial one
Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty repairs compression fractures in vertebrae, which can be caused by osteoporosis (weakening of the bones). This procedure uses a balloon to restore the correct shape of the vertebra. Then, your surgeon injects a special bone cement into the vertebra to reinforce it.
Laminectomy
This type of surgery removes the lamina (part of a vertebra) or bone spurs in your spine to treat spinal stenosis. A laminectomy widens the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves.
Preoperative education for spine surgery
Once you and your doctor have determined that spine surgery is the best option for you, our spine care team will provide you with information about our preoperative education class. A physical therapist presents this class and covers topics, such as:
- What you can expect before, during and after surgery
- How to ensure the best outcome after surgery by participating in programs like physical therapy
