Minimally Invasive & Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Utilizing cutting-edge Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (UBE) to treat conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Our focus is on preserving spinal motion and function, with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
- Persistent lower back pain or neck pain.
- Pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down an arm or leg (sciatica).
- Weakness in the legs or feet, leading to difficulty walking.
- Pain that worsens with standing or walking and is relieved by sitting or leaning forward.
- Loss of bladder or bowel control (this is a medical emergency).
Biportal Endoscopic Discectomy
A minimally invasive procedure to remove a herniated portion of a disc that is pressing on a nerve root, relieving radiating pain.
Endoscopic Decompression for Stenosis
An advanced technique to widen the spinal canal and relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing of the canal).
Lumbar Endoscopic Foraminotomy
A procedure to enlarge the neural foramen (the passageway where nerve roots exit the spinal canal) to relieve pressure on a pinched nerve.
Motion-Preserving Techniques
Our primary goal is to resolve your symptoms while preserving the natural movement of your spine. Fusion surgery is considered only when absolutely necessary for instability.
- Patients often experience a significantly faster recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.
- Most patients can walk within a few hours of the procedure.
- Hospital stays are typically shorter, often just overnight.
- A course of physical therapy is usually recommended to strengthen core muscles and ensure a full recovery.
- Return to work and normal activities is much quicker, often within a few weeks for non-strenuous jobs.
