Description
In the past, spine surgery involved long incisions, muscle disruption and lengthy recovery times. Advances have led to the development of minimally invasive spine surgery performed through smaller "keyhole" incisions with the aid of endoscopic devices for visualization. The muscles are minimally disrupted, pain is reduced and recovery time is rapid as compared to traditional open spine surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery offers many people relief from scoliosis, bulging or herniated discs and other conditions. This talk focuses on the conditions and people for whom this surgery is well suited. Eugene Carragee, MD is the Director of the Orthopedic Spine Center at Stanford, Division Chief of the Spinal Surgery Section in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, and Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Carragee's research interests lie in outcomes assessment of surgical and rehabilitative treatment for cervical and lumbar intervertebral disk herniation; diagnosis and treatment of spine infections, instrumentation of the degenerative spine and spinal deformities and low back pain syndromes, pain and pain management. His research is internationally recognized as among the best world-wide in the field of Spinal Disorders. Todd Alamin, MD is Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Alamin has a special interest in minimally invasive techniques to achieve definitive results in the care of patients with spinal problems. His areas of expertise focus on minimally invasive spine surgery, complex spinal reconstructive surgery, new techniques of cervical and lumbar fusion, spinal tumors and infections, spinal trauma, and spinal joint replacement. Ivan Cheng, MD is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Cheng is an adult and pediatric spine care specialist whose areas of expertise include spinal reconstructive surgery, cervical spine surgery, and spinal trauma, including repair of spinal deformities associated with scoliosis, multiple surgeries and severe spine problems. His research interests lie in the biologic enhancement of spinal fusions, molecular techniques of intervertebral disc regeneration, and techniques of spinal instrumentation. |
