Procedures that an NSPG spine specialist can perform:
An NSPG spine specialist performs a range of minimally invasive neurosurgery procedures, including:
- Microdiscectomy, a procedure to remove material from a herniated disk that is pressing on nerve root or the spinal cord.
- Microsurgical decompression, to provide relief from the pain of pinched or compressed nerves that are the result of lumbar spinal stenosis, herniated disks or spondylolisthesis. In this surgery the spine specialist removes a small portion of the bone over the nerve root or a bit of disk material from under the nerve root to give the nerve space to heal.
