What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Once you know which condition you are treating, Dr. Sadrameli and his care team will review your treatment options and discuss which procedures will help you achieveyour goals.

Dr. Sadrameli specializes in ultra-minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery for a varietyof procedures.

Endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques represent a leap forward in surgical medicine, offering patients alternatives to traditional open surgery. By utilizing specialized instruments and tiny cameras, Dr. Sadrameli can perform intricate procedures through small incisions or natural body openings. This approach minimizes trauma to the body, reduces scarring, and often results in less pain and quicker recovery periods.

Our facility is equipped with the latest in endoscopic technology, ensuring that even the most complex surgeries can be performed with the least invasive methods possible. Our commitment to minimally invasive surgery underscores our dedication to patient comfort, safety, and rapid recuperation.

Dr. Sadrameli is the only provider in the Central Florida region offering ultra-minimally invasive spinal endoscopy for treatment of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar pathologies.

Cervical Procedures

Ultra-Minimally Invasive
Endoscopic Cervical Discectomy

A minimally invasive endoscopic cervical discectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a herniated disc in the neck using a small incision and a tiny camera.

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure used to treat conditions in the cervical spine (neck). During ACDF, the surgeon accesses the spine from the front of the neck, minimizing disruption to back muscles. The procedure typically involves removing a damaged disc and fusing the adjacent vertebrae together.

Cervical Arthroplasty / Cervical
Disc Replacement

Cervical disc replacement (CDR) is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged or degenerated disc in the neck with an artificial disc.

Ultra-Minimally Invasive Posterior
Cervical Fusion (PCF)

Minimally Invasive Posterior Cervical Fusion (MIS-PCF) is a surgical procedure that stabilizes the neck’s vertebrae to treat neck pain and radiating arm pain. A titanium cage is placed between the facet joints to relieve pressure on pinched nerves. Bone graft material is inserted to promote fusion.

Thoracic Procedures

Ultra-Minimally Invasive
Endoscopic Thoracic Discectomy

A minimally invasive endoscopic thoracic discectomy (TETD) is a surgical procedure that removes herniated discs in the thoracic spine using a small incision and a tiny camera.

Spinal Cord Stimulator

Spinal cord stimulator surgery, also known as neurostimulation, is a minimally invasive procedure that implants a device to treat chronic pain.

Spinal Cord Tumor

Spinal cord tumor surgery is a procedure to remove a tumor from the spinal cord or surrounding area while avoiding damage to the spinal cord or nerves.

Lumbar Procedures

Ultra-Minimally Invasive
Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

A minimally invasive endoscopic lumbar discectomy is a surgical procedure that uses a small incision and an endoscope to remove a herniated disc in the lower back.

Lumbar Disc Replacement

Lumbar disc replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged or degenerated disc in the lower back and replacing it with an artificial disc. The goal of this alternative to spinal fusion aims to Reduce or eliminate lower back pain. Restore spinal stability Improve range of motion in the lower back.

Motion Preservation Joint
Replacement Surgery

Motion preservation joint replacement surgery is a surgical technique that aims to maintain the spine’s range of motion while relieving pressure and treating spinal conditions. It’s an alternative to spinal fusion, which can limit mobility.

Minimally Invasive Anterior
Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)

Minimally Invasive Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS ALIF) is a spinal fusion surgery that treats lower back pain and nerve conditions with less soft-tissue trauma than open surgery. A small incision is made in the abdomen and accesses the spine from the front. The surgeon removes the damaged intervertebral disc and replaces it with a bone graft, which fuses the vertebrae together.

Minimally Invasive Lateral Lumbar
Interbody Fusion (LLIF or XLIF)

Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that treats lower back pain by fusing together two or more vertebrae in the spine. The procedure involves making a small incision on the patient’s side to access the spine, rather than through the abdomen or back.

Lumbar Laminectomy

A lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure where a surgeon removes part or all of the lamina (the back part of the vertebra) in the lumbar spine, specifically the lower back, to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves caused by conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or spinal injuries, effectively creating more space within the spinal canal.
