SPINAL STENOSIS

Lumbar Spine

Minimally Invasive Lumbar Discectomy / Percutaneous Disc Removal (PDR)

A herniated lumbar disc can push on spinal nerves and cause severe, shooting leg pain, numbness and/or weakness. A percutaneous disc removal (PDR) can remove a portion of the herniated disc that is compressing spinal nerves through a small incision in the skin. This minimally invasive approach uses a much smaller incision than traditional open spinal surgeries and avoids damage to the low back muscles.

In some cases, removing part of the herniated disc in a partial discectomy procedure can also prevent the disc from irritating the nerve.

Cervical Spine

Instrumented Anterior Cervical Discectomy, Fusion (ACDF)

ACDF is the procedure in which a section of the a ruptured disc is removed in patients with spinal stenosis to remove pressure on nerves from disc herniations. A bone graft is usually inserted with instrumentation to keep the disc space at a normal height and fuse the vertebrae above and below the removed disc.
