Advances in surgical techniques and instrumentation have led to the emergence of the field of minimally invasive spine surgery. We perform outpatient discectomies with quick patient recovery and return to daily activities. Minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgeries for spinal stenosis have also reduced length of hospital stay and have led to expedient patient recovery.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are effective treatment options for patients who are suffering from unremitting pain and medically intractable back pain caused by osteoporotic and pathological compression fractures of the spine. For those patients who meet the surgical criteria, these methods of stabilizing the vertebral fractures of the spine have resulted in rapid and significant reduction in incapacitating pain. The potential candidates for this operation must undergo careful screening and diagnostic work-up before surgery. The operation is usually associated with an overnight hospital stay. These two techniques can sometimes be used in conjunction with spinal frameless radiosurgery.
