A spinal fusion can be an appropriate surgical option for severe cases of neck or back pain, but more often than not they can be avoided with a minimally invasive approach.
In this video, Top US Spine Surgeon, Dr. Hooman Melamed, shows a groundbreaking minimally invasive approach to spine surgery he's pioneered in the United States called Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (BESS).
Endoscopic spine surgery takes the minimally invasive approach to a whole new level. Many surgeons perform endoscopic spine surgery using a single portal. The problem with a single portal is that the surgeons are limited to what they can do, taking a three-dimensional operation and making it into a two-dimensional operation.
Biportal endoscopic spine surgery utilizes two independent portals for viewing and working where these portals are exchangeable. This allows surgeons to maintain a certain distance from the bony and neural structures, which allows closer access to the target lesion through a panoramic magnified view.
If you or a loved one have been told you are a candidate for neck or back surgery, get a second opinion with Dr. Hooman. The BESS procedure may be a better alternative for your situation. Just call (310) 730-1787 to speak with The Spine Pro team or visit [ Ссылка ] to learn more.
