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.
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.
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.

Dr. Albert performed my cervical disc replacement after two other surgeons recommended fusion. His expertise in motion-preserving surgery gave me back full neck mobility. The care at HSS was exceptional from pre-op to discharge.
Had a complex lumbar fusion with Dr. Albert after years of degenerative disc disease. He explained every option thoroughly and never rushed me toward surgery. Six months post-op and my back pain is dramatically better.
Traveled from out of state specifically to see Dr. Albert for a revision spine surgery. His reputation is well-deserved — meticulous surgical planning and outstanding results.
Dr. Albert was very knowledgeable and his staff was professional. Wait times were a bit long but the quality of care made up for it. My laminectomy went smoothly and I was walking the next day.
As a physician myself, I specifically chose Dr. Albert for my cervical spine procedure. His surgical technique and post-operative protocol are evidence-based and state of the art. Highly recommend.
