Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Neuroscience Group surgeons are highly experienced in the complete management of both common and complex spinal issues. All are board certified and many are fellowship trained. We utilize the latest minimally invasive techniques to give our patients the highest quality care and quickest recovery times.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Smaller Scars

Minimally invasive procedures only require incisions around 2 inches in size. Smaller incisions mean less trauma for your body and smaller scars post surgery.

Less Pain

Because minimally invasive spine surgery uses a small incisions, it avoids significant damage to the muscle surrounding the spine. This means less pain following the procedure.

Faster Recovery

You can be up and walking the same day as surgery, and go home within 23 hours. Life is too short for long recoveries!

Quicker Return to Work & Activities

With a shorter recovery time, you can feel great returning home, going back to work, and doing the things you love.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Neuroscience Group

As technology develops, so does our ability to provide patients with more options for innovative surgical procedures. Minimally invasive surgery (MISS) is an emerging, advanced medical procedure.

Minimally invasive spine surgery is a type of surgical technique that is used to treat spinal column conditions such as arthritis in the back, disc herniation and lumbar stenosis. This type of surgery uses microscopes and magnifying glasses called loupes and long tubes that are passed through tiny incisions to access the spine. 

Minimally invasive surgery allows the surgeon to do everything that would be included in traditional open surgery, but in a much less invasive manner.

My back issues that plagued me for years have been correct with surgery! I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Yazbak and his team. My condition was explained very concisely which made my decision for surgery a no brainer!
