SPINE SURGERY

The Department of Neurosurgery has a comprehensive complex spine and reconstruction service. This is spearheaded by Dr. S. Regnachary, who also heads up the Fellowship in the discipline. Dr. Rengachary has over 30 years of experience in this challenging field. Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in the types and varieties of operations for trauma, as well as degenerative conditions. Under his direction, we perform minimally invasive, maximally effective procedures for disc related problems and percutaneous fusions. Complex reconstructive procedures, using the latest instrumentation techniques, are effected in conjunction with our general surgical colleagues, when needed.

Frequently Treated Spinal Conditions :

Herniated Disc-Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar
Degenerative Disc Disease
Scoliosis
Spinal Stenosis
Radiculopathy
Spondylolisthesis/Spondylolysis and Spinal Instability
Vertebral Fracture
Spinal Tumors
Post-Laminectomy Syndrome/Failed Back Syndrome

Procedures :

For patients requiring surgical treatment, our neurosurgeons have pioneered minimally invasive approaches utilizing the most advanced surgical equipment. This requires much smaller incisions and less muscle dissection to allow for quicker recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less post-operative pain.

Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar microdiscectomy
Artificial Disc Replacement-Both Cervical and Lumbar
Complex Spinal Reconstruction-Deformity correction (scoliosis/kyphosis), cervical decompression, spinal tumor removal/debulking, spinal trauma.
Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Instrumented Fusion-Posterior, Anterior, and Extreme Lateral approaches.
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
