Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Beverly Hills Spine Surgery, our surgeons use the latest minimally-invasive spine surgical techniques. We commonly teach national courses on the newest spine surgical techniques to other orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. We specialize in micro-decompressions and micro-diskectomys and utilize high-powered microscopes in order to perform the surgery. Our incisions are typically less than 1 inch and often are done as an outpatient procedure. That vast majority of US spine surgeons (including us) do not use lasers during the surgical procedure because of the higher rate of nerve injury and recurrent disk herniations. In fact, less than 1% of US spine surgeons use lasers. Those surgeons that use lasers predominantly do so because of marketing reasons. Our goal is to maximize recovery and minimize risks by using the best equipment available.
