Conventional spine surgery creates large incisions with more scar tissue. With much smaller incisions, significantly less post-operative pain and equivalent or better outcomes than traditional open techniques, minimally invasive spine surgery has revolutionized spine surgery.
Only a few surgeons around the country are performing true minimally invasive spine fusions, including Dr. Thomas Loftus as Austin Neurosurgical Institute.
Procedures include spine surgery, for neck and back, carpal tunnel procedures, pain stimulators and pain pumps.
