Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive discectomy, fusion and spinal deformity correction.
Spine surgery treats nerve compression, instability and deformity. The most important distinction, and the one most often blurred, is between surgery for leg pain and surgery for back pain: the first has far more predictable results.
A second opinion is worth having here
Spine surgery is the field where recommendations vary most between surgeons, and where a considered second opinion changes the plan most often. Sometimes the answer is a smaller operation than the one proposed; sometimes it is no operation at all. We are glad to arrange one even when it means you do not travel.
What to send us
A recent MRI — the images, not only the report — plus X-rays including flexion and extension views if instability is suspected, and a clear description of where the pain actually goes.
Treatments in Spine Surgery
-
Microdiscectomy
Removal of the fragment of disc pressing on a nerve, through a small incision using magnification. Usually chosen for sciatica that has not settled with conserv...
-
Spinal Fusion
Two or more vertebrae are joined to stop painful movement between them. Recovery is longer than decompression alone, so we plan your stay accordingly.
-
Artificial Disc Replacement
A worn disc is replaced with a mobile implant, which preserves movement at that level instead of fusing it.
-
Laminectomy
Removal of part of the vertebral arch to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, typically for spinal stenosis.
