Procedures

ALIF: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
ALIF is generally used to treat back or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The surgeon will stabilize the spine by fusing vertebrae together with bone graft material.
ALIF: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (with bone graft and pedicle screws)
ALIF is generally used to treat back or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The surgeon will stabilize the spine by fusing vertebrae together with bone graft material.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
This surgery removes a herniated or degenerative vertebral disc in your neck and replaces it with a bone graft. This can relieve painful pressure on spinal nerves.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), with Cage
This surgery replaces a damaged vertebral disc in your neck with a cage containing bone graft. It's done to relieve painful pressure on spinal nerves.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (Intervertebral Spacer)
This surgery removes a herniated or diseased disc and relieves neck and radiating arm pain caused by parts of the disc pressing on nerve roots.
Artificial Cervical Disc Replacement
This procedure replaces a degenerative or damaged spinal disc with an implant designed to preserve motion in your neck. This procedure can relieve the pain of compressed nerves in the cervical spine.
Artificial Disc Replacement (in the Lumbar Spine)
This surgery treats a bad vertebral disc in your lower back. It replaces the bad disc with an artificial one. The new disc will let your spine bend and twist. For some, this surgery is an alternative to spinal fusion.
Foraminotomy (Lumbar Spine)
This procedure relieves pressure on spinal nerves in your lower back. It makes more room in an opening called a "foramen." That's where a spinal nerve exits as it branches away from your spine.
Interlaminar Stabilization (coflex®)
This small implant gives your spine support. It's placed in your spine as part of a surgical treatment for the pain of spinal stenosis. Unlike a spinal fusion, the implant preserves motion. So your spine can still move naturally.
Kyphoplasty (Balloon Vertebroplasty)
This minimally-invasive procedure repairs a vertebral compression fracture. It helps restore the spine's natural shape. Some patients experience rapid pain relief after the procedure.
Laminectomy
This procedure relieves pressure on the nerve roots in the spine. It is most commonly performed to relieve the pain of stenosis. This is a narrowing of the spinal canal that is often caused by the formation of bony growths that can press against the nerve roots. The surgeon may treat one or more vertebrae.
Laminectomy (Cervical Spine, With Fusion)
This surgery relieves pressure on spinal nerves in your neck. It treats a condition we call "spinal stenosis." Laminectomy makes more space for these compressed nerves. Then, your spine is stabilized with implants.
Laminectomy (Cervical)
This procedure removes a section of bone from the rear of one or more vertebrae to relieve the painful and disabling pressure of stenosis.
Laminotomy (of the Lumbar Spine)
This surgery creates more space around your spinal nerves. It gets rid of pressure and pinching. It can relieve pain, numbness and weakness linked to spinal nerve compression.
Lumbar Disc Microsurgery
This minimally-invasive procedure relieves pressure on nerve roots caused by a herniated disc. It can eliminate the pain of sciatica.
Lumbar Interbody Fusion (IBF; LIF)
This surgery helps a painful lower spine. It treats a degenerated or damaged disc. The bad disc is removed and the vertebra bones above and below that disc are joined together. A fusion can reduce or eliminate your pain.
Lumbar Spinous Process Plating (CD Horizon® SPIRE™)
In this minimally-invasive procedure, a metal device is implanted to stabilize the spine and help relieve back problems from conditions such as spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative arthritis. This procedure is often performed in addition to spinal fixation with pedicle screws and rods.
Mild® Procedure (Vertos Medical)
This procedure treats lumbar spinal stenosis. That's a narrowing of the space around the spinal nerves in your lower back. The mild procedure makes more room for these nerves, relieving painful compression.
Minimally-Invasive TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
This minimally invasive procedure is used to remove a degenerated disc to relieve the compression of nerve roots in the lumbar spine. It is performed through a small incision on the back.
OLIF: Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (for L2-L5)
This is a surgery to correct problems caused by a degenerated disc in your spine. It creates more space for your nerves. OLIF is performed through a small opening in your side.
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)
This procedure fuses two of your vertebrae with implants and bone graft material. It stabilizes your spine. It can be used to treat pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
Spine Stabilization System (DYNESYS®)
This minimally-invasive surgical procedure treats chronic lower back or leg pain by stabilizing damaged or misaligned vertebrae with specially-designed screws, spacers and cables. The flexible DYNESYS® system is an alternative to spinal fusion. It aligns and supports the spine while still allowing some flexibility and movement. The surgery takes two to three hours to perform.
Superion® InterSpinous Spacer (Vertiflex)
This is an implant that lifts and separates your vertebrae. It's used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. That's a narrowing of the space around your spinal nerves in your lower back. The Superion implant makes more room for these nerves, relieving painful compression.
TLIF: Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
TLIF is generally used to treat back or leg pain caused by degenerative disc disease. The surgeon will stabilize the spine by fusing vertebrae together with bone graft material.
Total Disc Replacement: Synthes® Prodisc-C
This surgical procedure replaces a damaged or diseased disc in the cervical spine with an artificial disc that restores the natural alignment of the spine. Unlike fusion surgery, which causes the vertebrae above and below the problem disc to grow together into a single bone, the artificial disc preserves spine motion at that level.
Vertebral Augmentation
This type of spine surgery treats a problem called "compression fracture." That's when the body of a vertebra (one of the bones of the spinal column) cracks and collapses. Vertebral augmentation makes the bone stronger. It may restore lost height and relieve pain.
Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR)
This surgical procedure replaces a severely diseased or damaged vertebra with a device designed to restore the spine's proper height and alignment. The patient's pain is relieved by eliminating pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots in the thoracic or lumbar spine.
Vertebroplasty
This minimally-invasive procedure is an injection of bone cement into a vertebra. It stabilizes a compression fracture of the spine. One or more vertebrae may need to be treated.
