Spine Surgery
The future of spine surgery is now.
Customizing Surgery to Fit Your Unique Condition
We are able to get our patients back to their pain-free lives faster than ever before. At VSI, we have the ability to customize our patient’s treatments to their individual goals for recovery. Our world-class surgeons are at the forefront of innovative and customized surgery for each unique patient. With our outside-of-the-box thinking, combined with surgical technique and the latest cutting-edge technology, it results in the most effective surgeries with minimized downtime.
This motion-preserving spine surgery technique combined with advanced technology offers a more effective treatment option than ever available in the past.
Hybrid spine surgery combines spinal fusion and artificial disc replacement operations to stabilize, or align, one or more levels while preserving motion at the adjacent levels.
A fusion procedure may be recommended to eliminate painful motion, restore your alignment or posture, or provide stability to your spine.
When correcting a curve or deformity in the spine, we employ minimally invasive techniques and technologies to cause as little disruption as possible to the patient. Surgical tools that we use include robotic guidance, stealth navigation, ultrasonic or laser cutting devices.
Revision surgeries are more technically challenging and complex than original surgical procedures but in many cases can still offer a patient a tremendous improvement in their quality of life.
Spinal endoscopic surgery offers a huge advantage over traditional types of spine surgeries in many circumstances. While using an endoscope, we can do it without disrupting all that muscle, without removing all that bone.
Ultrasonic spine surgery can be used for many conditions, but is most often utilized when it is necessary to remove a small amount of bone to treat a patient’s pain.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique for herniated discs in the lumbar spine. This is a very common spinal procedure.
The goal of a laminectomy is to relieve this pressure on the spinal cord or surrounding nerves. A laminectomy can be performed in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, however the lumbar is the most common location.
Laminoplasty is a surgical procedure where a portion of the lamina bone is carefully cut all the way through. By carefully cutting through one aspect of the lamina, it is similar to opening a door to create more space around the spinal canal.
Discover the Benefits of Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery offers the same post-surgical benefits as traditional spine surgery, but with much less trauma. In recent years, minimally invasive techniques have changed the face of spine surgery and ultimately surgical recovery.
Some common benefits associated with non-invasive spine surgery include:
- More effective surgical outcomes
- Faster recovery time & less post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less anesthesia & radiation exposure during surgery
- Smaller incisions leading to less scarring
Enhanced Recovery After Spine Surgery (ERAS)
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery or ERAS is a multimodal set of protocols used by your surgical team to help ensure best possible outcomes from your surgery. Important components of ERAS occur before, during and after your surgery.
