Living with chronic back pain or a debilitating spine condition can turn everyday activities into overwhelming challenges, leaving you searching for relief that doesn’t involve lengthy hospital stays or extended recovery periods. When traditional treatments haven’t provided the relief you need, advanced surgical techniques offer a path forward that minimizes disruption to your life while addressing the root cause of your pain.
At Oasis Orthopedic & Spine, our team specializes in minimally invasive procedures designed to treat complex spinal conditions with precision and care. Serving Clifton and the surrounding Northern New Jersey communities at our 777 Passaic Ave, Suite 200 location, we combine cutting-edge surgical techniques with personalized treatment plans to help patients return to the activities they love faster than traditional open surgery would allow.
Minimally invasive spine surgery represents a significant advancement in how spinal conditions are treated. Unlike traditional open surgery that requires large incisions and extensive muscle disruption, minimally invasive techniques use specialized instruments and advanced imaging technology to access the spine through small incisions, typically less than an inch long. This approach allows surgeons to address herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and other conditions while preserving surrounding muscle tissue and reducing trauma to the body.
The evolution of these techniques has transformed outcomes for patients facing spine surgery. Advanced visualization tools enable surgeons to navigate complex anatomy with unprecedented precision, while specialized instruments allow for targeted treatment of affected areas without disturbing healthy surrounding structures. This refined approach fundamentally changes the surgical experience and recovery process compared to traditional methods.
Patients who undergo minimally invasive spine surgery experience numerous advantages compared to traditional approaches. These benefits create a fundamentally different recovery experience that allows faster return to normal activities:
These advantages combine to create a surgical experience focused on patient comfort and optimal outcomes. According to research published in the Asian Spine Journal, minimally invasive spine surgery produces comparable or superior outcomes to traditional open surgery while significantly reducing complications and approach-related tissue injury.
We are proud to provide comprehensive treatment for the following conditions:
Our minimally invasive approach effectively addresses conditions stemming from disc problems. Herniated discs that compress spinal nerves can be treated through microdiscectomy, removing the portion of the disc causing pain while leaving healthy tissue intact. Degenerative changes affecting disc integrity respond well to advanced fusion techniques that stabilize affected segments while maintaining the natural structure of your spine.
Patients suffering from narrowing of the spinal canal benefit from procedures like endoscopic laminectomy, which creates more space for the spinal cord and nerve roots without the extensive bone removal required in traditional surgery. Nerve compression causing radiating pain down the arms or legs responds well to endoscopic foraminotomy, which enlarges the space where nerves exit the spinal column without requiring extensive tissue disruption.
Understanding what to expect before, during, and after your procedure helps reduce anxiety and promotes optimal outcomes. Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes advanced imaging studies and a thorough discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. We explain which specific technique will best address your condition and answer all your questions about the procedure, recovery timeline, and expected results.
Most minimally invasive spine surgeries are performed using general anesthesia in a state-of-the-art surgical facility equipped with advanced imaging technology. The procedure typically takes one to three hours, depending on complexity, with many patients going home the same day. Post-operative pain is managed through targeted medications and typically remains significantly lower than traditional surgery patients experience. Physical therapy usually begins within days of surgery, focusing on gentle movements that promote healing while preventing stiffness.
