Lumbar Laminectomy
Narrowing of the lumbar spine is called lumbar stenosis. Lumbar stenosis can cause low back and radiating lower extremity pain. This pain is typically increased with walking. Through an incision in the low back, the compression on the nerve structures can be relieved.

Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy
In certain selected cases, this minimally invasive technique may be used to remove disc herniations or protrusions.

Automated Percutaneous Discectomy (APLD)
In certain selected cases, this minimally invasive technique may be used to remove disc protrusions. Patients go home on the day of surgery.

Intradiscal Electrothermal Coagulation (IDET)
In certain selected cases, this minimally invasive procedure can be used to alleviate the pain caused by disc protrusion. A small needle is directed into the disc space. Through this needle a heating device is inserted into the disc in order to coagulate the disc and pain causing nerves. Patients go home on the day of the surgery.

Lumbar Instrumentation and Reconstruction
Certain complex spinal cases will require the placement of metallic devices in the spine to ensure stabilization and promote fusion. These devices include interbody fusion cages and pedicle screw fixation devices.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
Disc herniations or protrusions in the cervical spine can cause neck and upper extremity pain. Through a small incision in the neck the disc material can be removed. The disc space is then usually fused with bone obtained from a tissue bank or with bone from the patient's hip.

Cervical Laminectomy
Narrowing of the cervical spine is called cervical stenosis. Compression of the spinal cord by cervical stenosis can cause weakness and gait disorders. Through an incision in the back of the neck the compression on the spinal cord can be relieved.
