  Minimally Invasive Innovative Spine Surgery


Cervical Disc Herniation: Anterior Microforaminotomy, Disc-preserving functional cervical disc surgery which does not
      require bone fusion or a brace or collar postoperatively.
      Alternative minimally invasive operations are
      percutaneous anterior cervical discectomy and
      posterior endoscopic foraminotomy.
Cervical Stenosis: Spinal Cord Decompression via Anterior Foraminotomy, functional spine surgery which does not require bone fusion and metal plate-screw implants, or wearing a brace.
Thoracic Disc Herniation: Endoscopic Transpedicular Approach Endoscopic surgery performed through an inch skin incision.
Lumbar Disc Herniation: Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy, either midline posterior or posterolateral approach, Surgery is
      performed through a small incision.
Lumbar Stenosis: Endoscopic Decompression via a unilateral foraminotomy with a small incision.
Spinal Cord Tumors: Anterolateral or Posterolateral Approach, endoscopic surgery.
Occipital Neuralgia: Microdecompression of C2, novel surgical treatment for occipital headaches.
Spinal Instability: Minimally invasive endoscopic fusion surgery.
Chiari Malformation: Endoscopic decompression
      via a small incision.
Hyperhidrosis: Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy
