Always humbled by these two great men. @drvokshoor the best senior partner a neurosurgeon could ask for and Dr. Paul Muizelaar, professor, chairman, “the boss”. A mentor and friend that has taught me as much about life as he has the practice of our craft. #greatmentors #neurosurgery #cns2021

Re-posting this perspective on deformity correctio

Re-posting this perspective on deformity correction. Although I always try to avoid large, invasive operations, there is clear evidence that sagittal balance (basically a person’s posture), is directly correlated with quality of life. In this instance, a very aggressive type IV osteotomy (cutting of the vertebra) was required snd achieved over 25 degrees of correction. The patient’s tears of happiness said it all - being able to have a conversation while standing straighter for the first time in 20 years meant the world to her. I am so happy for her.

Continuing to push the limits on ADR and hybrid technology for the benefit of our patients. This lovely 58-year-old, extremely active, woman was suffering from severe pain and progressive arm and hand function loss (myelopathy). She left the next day after surgery, overjoyed with the pain relief and immediate improvement in hand function, already asking when she can go back to the gym and yoga.

Discussing our recent publication on I-factor for faster, more cost-effective fusions in spine surgery. Despite being advocates for motion preservation surgery and artificial disc technology, fusion is sometimes necessary and clinically appropriate. In this instance, data on outcomes and cost-effectiveness ought to drive clinical practice. #responsiblehealthcare #costeffective #randomizedcontrolledtrial

Proud to present our group’s healthcare economics data this weekend. As many of you know, my partner and I, at NSG, are major proponents of motion preservation and artificial disc technology. However, if fusion is needed (and it may very well be at times), we similarly believe that the best data should guide clinical decisions and that the technology used be cost-effective and sustainable for society. #responsiblehealthcare #costeffective #randomizedcontrolledtrial

Motion is life! After careful examination and pla

Motion is life! After careful examination and planning, this highly active boater started having progressive back and leg pain with new onset foot spasms and limited range of motion, we opted for a hybrid approach to not only improve his lumbar lordosis (flat back) but also decompress his spinal canal and nerves while maintaining motion.
.
Dramatic improvement in leg pain and foot function immediately post-op.
.
Please note that this type of combined fusion/ADR construct is considered off-label by the FDA. The patient was aware of all the risks, available data, and the off-label classification. If you have questions about this or other motion preserving surgeries, please call our office for a consultation (800–899-0101).

Motion preservation over fusion! A local RN is back to work less than 1-week post-op from her 2-level artificial disc replacement (ADR). A pinnacle of our practice is to avoid fusion whenever possible, unless absolutely necessary, and preserve motion with ADR.

Another happy patient. Two-level artificial disc that took approximately 90-minutes in the OR and the patient went home 3 hours post-op. Many Would have fused this patient because of mild kyphosis. Dynamic X-rays we’re very reassuring, and we feel strongly at NSG that this patient’s posture will improve with PT/exercise while maintaining physiologic motion. Avoiding fusion unless absolutely necessary is one of the many goals of our practice.

Minimally invasive scoliosis surgery has truly changed this disease entity for patients of all ages. Using small lateral access techniques (the side of your abdomen) and robotics for the posterior stage (your back) has decreased blood loss, operative times, hospital length of stay, and functional impairments. All of our patients are up and walking post op day 1. If you’re suffering from scoliosis, please call 800-899-0101 to schedule a consultation.

Trigeminal neuralgia is described by patients as one of the worse possible pains anyone can experience. This patient has undergone gamma knife radiation, a prior surgery, and now her medications are causing liver dysfunction. We completed the microvascular decompression (MVD procedure) in just over 2-hours and she’s overjoyed and pain free. Discharged home post-op day 1. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful surgeries in neurosurgery, all achieved through a small opening in the skull behind the ear about the size of a quarter.
