Traditional surgery is known for long incisions, lengthy recovery times, a higher chance of post-surgical infections, and more challenging post-surgical difficulties.
Minimally invasive surgical techniques have impacted many medical specialties, but none more transformative than spinal surgery.
As a highly respected spinal surgeon who quickly adopts proven, innovative surgical approaches, Dr. Benjamin Cohen performs minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. Additional good news is that these techniques can be used in even more complex spinal surgeries, improving the recovery experience and long-term outcomes for patients.
Not only do minimally invasive procedures offer significant advantages to patients, but they’re also optimal for the surgeons performing them.
These procedures require Dr. Cohen to make only small incisions, which are less traumatic to the body.
First, let’s go over the reasons these procedures leave you better off:
The benefits Dr. Cohen experiences when performing minimally invasive procedures, compared with open spinal surgery, include shorter procedure times and greater safety.
There’s no question that minimally invasive spinal surgery is a win-win.
Fortunately, Dr. Cohen uses minimally invasive surgery even for particularly complex conditions, like degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, and more. These include:
If Dr. Cohen recommends spinal surgery for you and determines that you’re a candidate for minimally invasive surgery, you can reap real rewards.
