Neuro and Spine Surgery

Neuro & Spine Surgery is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment, both surgical and non-surgical, disorders of the nervous system, which includes the brain, skull, spinal column, spinal cord and peripheral nerves within all parts of the body. The neurosurgical care includes both adult and pediatric patients. The common neurosurgical procedures include degenerative spinal disorders, prolapsed intervertebral discs treatment, operating on aneurysm and AVMs.

Depending on the nature of the injury or condition, the neurosurgeon may perform surgical and/or non-surgical treatments.

The latest Technology used in Minimally Invasive Surgery Neuro and Spine Surgery

Cervical artificial disc replacement

For cervical disc pathology, artificial disc placement has stood the test of time and is becoming the main alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Recently, even artificial cervical disc replacement operations have been performed using two-level procedures.

Spinal fusion

Fusion surgery results improve over time, with better fusion rates and less postoperative pain and complications. Areas of improvement include less invasive approaches, more bone grafting options, and cage/implant innovations to improve materials and fixation methods.

Minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion

With newer, less invasive fusion techniques now available, SI joint fusion is a more common treatment option for those with pain due to sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Vertebral augmentation

When it comes to surgical treatment of painful vertebral fractures, patients today have many options, including minimally invasive options such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Prior to these technological innovations, only non-surgical treatment options were generally available for patients with osteoporotic compression fractures, but vertebral augmentation has now become a major option, providing relatively reliable pain relief for certain patients.
