Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

January 1999 – Partnered with the Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery & Neuroresearch

The Chicago Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroresearch Medical Group (CINN) is one of the nation's leading organizations for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with brain and spine disorders. As one of the Midwest's largest teams of neurosurgeons, CINN is known for its pioneering treatments in minimally invasive techniques.

Collectively, the neurosurgeons represent every subspecialty within their field and treat more patients with brain tumors and spine disorders than any other physician group in Illinois.

May 2009 – Performed first minimally invasive spine surgery at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital

Faster recovery time, less pain and the same – if not better – results. Sound too good to be true? It isn't.

The concept of minimally invasive spine surgery is simple: make a smaller incision. Traditional spine surgery requires a large incision to strip muscle away from the bone, which can cause painful spasms and slow down recovery. With minimally invasive surgery, there is some pain, but it is significantly less, and mobility is greatly improved.
