Procedures

Procedures Offered

Lumbar Fusion Microdiscectomy Disc Replacement Laminectomy Scoliosis

Lumbar Fusion

Lumbar spinal fusion permanently joins two or more vertebrae in the lower back to eliminate painful motion at a damaged segment. The surgeon uses bone graft, screws, and rods to stabilize the spine while the vertebrae fuse into solid bone over 3-6 months. It treats degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and fractures.

Success rate: 70-90% | Recovery: 3-6 months | Fusion time: 3-12 months

Laminectomy

Laminectomy (decompression surgery) removes part of the vertebral bone (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. It relieves pressure caused by spinal stenosis — a narrowing of the spinal canal common in patients over 60. The procedure can be performed alone or combined with fusion for stability.

Relief of leg symptoms: 80-90% | Outpatient possible: Yes | Recovery: 2-6 weeks

Microdiscectomy

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the portion of a herniated disc pressing on a spinal nerve. Through a 1-inch incision, the surgeon uses a microscope to precisely remove the disc fragment causing sciatica (leg pain, numbness, or weakness). One of the most successful spine surgeries with 85-95% relief of leg symptoms.

Success for sciatica: 85-95% | Incision: 1 inch | Recovery: 2-6 weeks
