New Jersey's Best Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeon

If you need spine surgery, no matter how minimally invasive, it's important to find the best possible surgeon for the job. The spine is one of the most delicate and important parts of the body, and it requires a great deal of skill and precision to operate on. What's more, spine surgery is often used to treat symptoms that have a very detrimental effect on day-to-day life. Below, we'll explore some basics about minimally invasive spine surgery, as well as where to find the best spine surgeon in New Jersey.

About Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery 

For years, the only type of spine surgery available was open spine surgery, a very invasive procedure that required doctors to make a large incision along the spine. Now, there are a number of minimally invasive procedures available. Although minimally invasive surgeries can't be used on all spine conditions, they can be used on a large number of spine conditions.

Some of the benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery include: 

• Immediate or fast relief from symptoms
• No need to go under general anesthesia
• No hospital stay
• No large scar
• Lower risk of infection, thanks to the lack of a hospital stay and a smaller incision
• Lower risk of bleeding, thanks to the lack of a large incision
• Lower risk of blood clots, thanks to increased mobility after surgery

Laser spine surgery is one of the most widely-used minimally invasive spine procedures. During this procedure, the doctor makes two small incisions along the spine. Through one incision, a camera is inserted, allowing the surgeon to view the spine. Through the other incision, a laser probe is inserted, and used to dissolve misplaced tissue, such as the herniated portion of a spinal disc.
