Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

What Makes It Different

Traditional Spine Surgery

  • 4-6 inch incisions
  • Significant muscle disruption
  • Higher blood loss
  • Longer hospital stays
  • Extended recovery time

Minimally Invasive Approach

  • Incisions often under 1 inch
  • Minimal tissue damage
  • Reduced blood loss
  • Many procedures outpatient
  • Faster return to activities

Advanced Technology

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Ultra-minimally invasive approach using specialized cameras and micro-instruments. Many procedures performed outpatient — home the same day.

Robotic-Assisted Precision

Globus ExcelsiusGPS technology for precise screw and implant placement. Enhanced accuracy leads to improved outcomes and reduced complications.

Motion Preservation

When appropriate, Dr. Greenberg uses motion-preserving techniques like cervical disc replacement instead of fusion. The goal is to restore function and maintain natural spinal movement.

Not every spine problem requires fusion. Dr. Greenberg's philosophy: surgery should restore function, not just eliminate pain.
