Percutaneous discectomy is a procedure where the surgeon places a needle into the disc space. When the needle is placed the surgeon can now use lasers and other smaller diameter instruments that are designed to remove disc material. Percutaneous discectomy is the least invasive procedure performed to correct bulging discs.

Percutaneous discectomy is an outpatient procedure with no blood loss, can be done in an outpatient setting, and it also provides a quick recovery.

At every moment, your body is going through a natural process of degeneration and regeneration. Every day your body sends out specialized cells called Mesenchymal Stem Cells that are specifically designed to develop into any specific tissue. The type of tissue the Mesenchymal Stem Cells develop into is determined by the signals received from the surrounding area of the cell. Because of injury or due to the natural aging process, sometimes the degeneration process can exceed the natural regeneration process of the body. When this occurs these Mesenchymal Stem Cells, which are found in high concentration in the bone marrow, can be harvested and injected into the affected area. The introduction of this high concentration of regenerative cells accelerate natural healing of the body and can sometimes help to repair tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and form new bone.

An Endoscopic Foraminotomy is a decompression procedure that is performed to enlarge the passageway of the nerve root. During this procedure a small camera or endoscope is used to visualize the exiting nerve root and protect it. The surgeon can now use instruments specifically designed to remove any disc material, ligament overgrowth, or bone spurs that are obstructing the path of the nerve.

The most reliable form of treatment for facet pain. A spacer is inserted into the facet joint to stabilize it and eliminate pain. This is an outpatient procedure with fast recovery.

Once the spine loses one or more of its shock absorbers, or intervertebral discs, it is the goal of the surgeon to restore the space that the disc once held. This restoration was typically performed as an open surgery, but now thanks to the advancement of spinal instrumentation, the Minimally Invasive TLIF (MIS-TLIF) procedure is available to restore disc height and hold the spine in its new position so the body can fuse the specific location. The MIS-TLIF is a procedure where the surgeon operates on the spine through small incisions that allows for minimal disruption of the muscle. This greatly reduces blood loss and reduces the recovery period for most patients. The MIS-TLIF procedure is a decompression procedure as well as a fusion procedure. This procedure allows the surgeon to remove disc material and create a successful fusion of the spine for the hope of relieving pressure on the nerve roots, easing your pain.

Endoscopic surgery performed to safely remove debris from a damaged foramen compressing a nerve and causing nerve pain.

When the inner portion of the intervertebral disc pushes through the outer fibrous layer, or Herniates, the surgeon would perform a Microdiscectomy to remove the herniated portion of the disc. Depending on the severity of your issue, a Microdiscectomy can be performed using 3 main techniques.

1. Mini-Open: Similar to an open discectomy, the surgeon will use special instruments that work with a much smaller incision to remove herniated disc material.
2. Minimally Invasive: For this procedure the surgeon will use a tube system that reduces the incision even more than a Mini Open. This procedure spares your back muscles by allowing the surgeon to gradually open the area, or dilate, by using a tube system that graduates in diameter.
3. Endoscopic Discectomy: For this procedure the surgeon uses a small camera called an endoscope that allows for the visualization, and safe removal of disc materials.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion or ACDF is a procedure where the surgeon approaches the spine through the front or anterior portion of the spine. Once the surgeon has access to the spine, they remove any diseased disc replacing it with a spacer that is typically made from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), or Titanium spacer. After the interbody is placed the surgeon will then stabilize the cervical spine by using plate and screws to fuse the location of the spine that was diseased.

Artificial disc replacement is when the surgeon approaches the spine from the front, or the anterior. The surgeon replaces the diseased cervical disc with a new and artificial disc that allows the patient to maintain their same natural mobility.
