Oasis Orthopedic & Spine is a leading provider in minimally-invasive spine surgeries. We are avid researchers for innovative techniques and teachers for fellow surgeons around the world.
Chronic back pain transforms everyday activities into daunting challenges, limiting your possibilities and diminishing your quality of life. Chronic pain can make simple tasks overwhelming and enjoyable activities impossible. Minimally invasive spine surgery offers a path to relief with smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery times than traditional open procedures.
For many New Jersey residents, the prospect of spine surgery brings both hope and anxiety, with concerns about extensive recovery periods and surgical complications. At Oasis Medical Group, we provide advanced minimally invasive spine surgery options for patients throughout New Jersey. Our experienced medical team specializes in the latest techniques that can address various spinal conditions while minimizing surgical trauma and helping you return to your normal activities as soon as possible.
Minimally invasive surgeries generally reduce the need for large incisions and lengthy healing periods. When treating spinal conditions, we use small incisions and specialized instruments. These incisions are generally less than two centimeters long, helping us preserve muscles, tissues, and ligaments. Minimally invasive surgeries also help us reduce blood loss.
Smaller incisions might require specialized instruments, as these will allow your surgeon to reach spaces where they would otherwise need larger cuts. These might include microscopes, endoscopes, and robotic systems. Your surgeon might increase their ability to see properly with a camera they can insert into your body, projecting what the camera sees onto a screen in the operating room.
Just because a surgery is minimally invasive does not necessarily mean there are limitations in the treatment. In fact, we can use minimally invasive spine surgery to treat several medical issues and conditions, including the following:
If you want to learn more about whether you’re a good candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery, we encourage you to reach out to a qualified provider at Oasis Medical Group for support. During your consultation, we can help assess your medical condition, discuss your surgical and medical history, and explore your treatment options. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or if you’re ready to get started.
Following your consultation, we’ll be able to schedule your surgical procedure. However, your minimally invasive spine surgery will not necessarily look the same as another person’s, as the specific procedure depends on the condition we’ll be treating.
You’ll be put under sedation, though the strength of the sedative will depend on your anxiety levels and what treatment we’ll be performing. Treatments that require patients to be completely unconscious and unresponsive will require general anesthesia, while others may only require oral sedation or local anesthesia. If you have any concerns about this, be sure to speak with your provider about your preferences or if you have a history of complications with anesthesia.
After you’ve been sedated, we can start making small incisions. Then we’ll use specialized instruments to perform the actual surgery. This might involve removing a herniated disc, fusing vertebrae, or other procedures. We’ll then close up the incision sites and monitor you to ensure you’re stable after surgery.
There are many pros and cons to consider when looking at different treatment types for a spinal condition. The following are some of the most prominent benefits associated with minimally invasive spine surgery:
Of course, minimally invasive spine surgery may come with certain drawbacks, depending on your specific procedure. It doesn’t work for every spine issue, and initial costs for the surgery may feel higher. However, we frequently find the pros far outweigh the cons and advocate for patients getting less invasive procedures whenever possible.
