Greenwich
There are a number of questions to take into consideration if you’re looking into spine surgery. Is it required to treat your condition, or will a non-surgical technique be effective? If surgery is needed, should you have traditional spine surgery performed or will you benefit from a minimally-invasive procedure? Our minimally-invasive spine surgeons in Greenwich, CT are here to help.
Surgeons perform traditional spine surgeries through larger incisions with a lot of spinal exposure and muscle dissection. However, with minimally-invasive procedures, surgeons are able to perform many neck and spine procedures through the use of one or more smaller incisions. Patients receive more benefits with minimally-invasive procedures, including reduced risk of complications, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery.
Traditional open spine surgeries involve a total exposure of your anatomy. On the other hand, with minimally-invasive procedures, the surgeon is able to expose less of your anatomy and this means an earlier recovery in many cases. The minimally-invasive spine surgeons here at CT Spine & Orthopedic are skilled at this type of surgery and are here to help alleviate your back or neck pain issues.
The long-term goals are the same for either type of surgery – we want to produce an overall symptom improvement or stop degeneration. Essentially, we want our procedures to lead to:

With minimally-invasive laser spine surgery, the treatment and recovery times are much shorter and often leads to fewer complications.

This is a surgery for pain relief and the relief of other symptoms that patients often experience when they have a herniated disc in their spine that is pressing on a neighboring nerve root. In this surgery, our spine surgeon will free your nerve by removing small fragments of bone, disc, and ligament.
