Core Surgical Procedures

Comprehensive range of motion-preserving and stabilization procedures tailored to individual pathology.

Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement
Motion preservation for neck disc disease

Advanced cervical ADR techniques preserving natural neck motion while eliminating pain from degenerative disc disease. Multiple device options for optimal anatomical fit.

Advantages:

  • Preserved neck motion
  • Faster recovery
  • Reduced adjacent level stress

Techniques:

  • Single-level ADR
  • Multi-level ADR
  • Hybrid procedures
Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement
Lower back motion preservation technology

Sophisticated lumbar ADR procedures maintaining natural lower back motion while addressing disc degeneration and associated pain syndromes.

Benefits:

  • Natural lumbar motion
  • Return to activities
  • Long-term durability

Applications:

  • L4-L5, L5-S1 levels
  • Two-level procedures
  • Revision cases
Hybrid Surgery
Strategic combination of ADR and fusion

Innovative approach combining motion preservation and stabilization at different levels to optimize outcomes for complex multi-level pathology.

Strategy:

  • Preserve motion where possible
  • Stabilize when necessary
  • Minimize adjacent stress

Indications:

  • Mixed pathology
  • Multi-level disease
  • Adjacent segment issues
Revision Surgery
Complex reconstruction and salvage procedures

Specialized revision techniques for failed previous surgeries, including pseudarthrosis repair, device complications, and adjacent segment disease.

Expertise:
