The very best in modern medical and surgical techniques put the wellbeing of the patient first at all times. This includes using techniques that are minimally invasive so that recovery for the patient will be fast and comfortable, as well as achieving an outstanding result. The finest medical treatment centers in the USA are committed to this, including minimally invasive spine surgery in Westchester, New York.
Percutaneous Lumbar Fusion is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that fuses or locks together two or more vertebral bones. This stabilizes the spine and eliminates movement in a damaged joint or where there is compression on nerves or the spinal cord. This stabilization is achieved using a “keyhole” approach to surgery: tiny incisions are made in the back, and x-ray guided endoscopic equipment is used to place bone grafts in the disc space and screws into the spinal bones. Other stabilizing devices may also be used to open up disc spaces and hold them in their new position permanently.
If you have a damaged disc causing back pain that has not responded to non-surgical intervention and you do not have disc herniation compressing one or more nerves you may be a candidate for lumbar fusion.
