Are You a Candidate for Outpatient Back/Spine Surgery?
Though the cosmetic and recovery benefits appeal to many, minimally invasive surgery of the spine and neck is reserved only to a few select cases. To determine if your spinal condition, deformity, or injury is treatable via a minimally invasive technique, consult with your orthopedic spine specialist. Procedures commonly performed on an outpatient basis include posterior cervical foraminotomy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, lumbar laminectomy and lumbar microdiscectomy.
