SURGICAL CASES
AREAS OF INTEREST
Read about some of the disease that I treat below
Degenerative Disease
Degenerative diseases of the spine are those that arise from wear and tear of the vertebrae, the intervertebral discs, and the spine joints.
Spine Trauma
Trauma to the spine can lead to fractures, soft tissues injury and injury of the neural elements. The treatment goals in these instances can be quite variable depending on the presentation.
Spine Deformity
A spinal deformity is an abnormal curve in your spine, It can affect your spine's ability to do its job, leading to pain, neurological problems, and even difficulty walking.
Spine Tumors
Spinal tumors are abnormal growth that develop within the spinal canal or within the bones of the spine.
Spine Robotics
Robotics enables more precise access to the spine. It allows more complex procedures to be done through less invasive approaches.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
The goal of minimally invasive surgery is to achieve the same goals of open surgery while causing minimal disruption of the soft tissue.
