We access the spine through the front of the neck to remove disc or bone spurs pressing on the nerves or spinal cord. We then replace the removed disc with a spacer or cage to allow the bones to fuse together.

By going through the abdomen, we access the spine from the front and replace a disc with a “spacer” or “cage” to allow the bones to fuse together. Often performed for pinched nerves that are causing leg pain or weakness.

We access the spine through the front of the neck to remove disc or bone spurs pressing on the nerves or spinal cord. We then replace the removed disc with an artificial cervical disc.

Straightening and fusing the spine through placement of screws and rods. This is performed for spinal deformities that make it impossible to stand straight or cause severe back or neck pain.

Placement of implants that guide the growth of the spine, performed in children with severe scoliosis who still have a lot of growth remaining.

We access the spine through the side of the abdomen, and replace the disc with a “spacer” or “cage” to allow the bones to fuse together.

By going through the abdomen, we access the spine from the front and replace a disc with an artificial disc. This is usually only performed if a person has severe disc pain but no spine arthritis.

We remove bone spurs and excess soft tissue (called “ligamentum”) that presses on the nerves. Often performed for leg pain or weakness caused by lumbar stenosis.

A special retractor is used to access the spine through a small incision, reducing muscle trauma. We then place screws, rods, and “cages” or “spacers” in order to fuse bones in the lower back.

A special retractor is used to access the spine through a small incision, reducing muscle trauma. We then remove bone spurs, excess soft tissue (called “ligamentum”), or disc fragments that are pressing on the nerves.

A special retractor is used to access the spine through a small incision on the back of the neck, reducing muscle trauma. We then remove bone spurs or disc fragments pressing on a nerve in the neck.

Performed in conjunction with a spinal fusion. We cut a wedge in the vertebrae and then manipulate the spine to restore its natural curvature.

We access the spine from the back of the neck, and then remove bone spurs or excess soft tissue (called “ligamentum”) that is pressing on the spinal cord. We then use screws and rods to fuse the bones together.

The bones in the back of the neck are “hinged open” in order to create more room for the spinal cord. This is often done for the same reasons as an ACDF, but it preserves motion in the neck.

Straightening, balancing, and fusing the spine through the placement of screws and rods. This is usually performed when spinal curvatures in teenagers reach a certain degree.

“Redo” spine surgery that may be necessary if spinal implants become loose or bones don’t fuse together after a spinal fusion is performed.

Many of the procedures listed here use computer technology to guide the placement of implants or perform the surgery through smaller incisions

Performed in conjunction with a spinal fusion. We remove an entire vertebrae and then manipulate the spine to correct scoliosis or kyphosis. This is only reserved for the most severe deformities.
