Minimally invasive spine surgery is a revolutionary approach to treating back and neck pain, using advanced techniques and instruments to minimize tissue damage and promote faster recovery. This approach is ideal for patients who want to avoid lengthy hospital stays and extensive scarring.
Removes part of the vertebra, known as the lamina, which acts as the roof of the spinal cord. This helps decompress the nerves.
Removes abnormal disc material that may be pressing on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Spinal nerve compression happens when a nerve in your spine becomes pinched or irritated, often due to a herniated disc, bone spur, radiculopathy, or spinal stenosis, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Arthritis, Herniated Disc, Spinal Instability, Neck/Back Pain
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove portions of a herniated disc that are pressing on a nerve root. It is commonly performed to relieve leg pain (sciatica) caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine.
Decompression surgery, such as laminectomy or laminotomy, involves removing overgrown ligament (arthritis) through a small hole in the lamina in order to relieve nerve pressure due to arthritis or stenosis.
Minimally invasive spinal fusion involves stabilizing the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae using small incisions and specialized instruments, reducing muscle damage and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. This technique is used to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or scoliosis.
Dr. Macyszyn is a pioneer in minimally invasive spine surgery, with years of experience and a proven track record of successful outcomes in nerve decompression, artificial disk replacement, spinal stabilization/fusion, tumor removal, and scoliosis/deformity correction.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove portions of a herniated disc that are pressing on a nerve root. It is commonly performed to relieve leg pain (sciatica) caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine.
Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a surgical procedure to stabilize the lower back by removing a damaged disc and fusing two or more vertebrae together. Accessed through an incision in the abdomen, bone graft is then inserted into the disc space to promote solid bone growth, ultimately reducing pain and improving spinal stability.”
