Minimally Invasive “Natural Opening” Spine Surgery to treat Back & Leg Pain

June 5th, 2010 -- Posted in anesthesia for spine surgery under sedation | 3 Comments »

If you’re suffering from back pain, and the pain medications, physical therapy, and injections aren’t working, then you should consider surgery. That may be a frightening thought, however with this new and innovative approach to treating back pain, you should never fear the thought of spine surgery again!

Using the worlds most advanced minimally invasive technique, Dr. Rothstein uses his Accurascope equipped with a tiny laser and camera, and by entering the spinal canal through the natural opening of the sacral hiatus, he is able to see in live, 3D color the redness and inflammation brought on by a herniated or bulging disc, and simultaneously vaporize the obstruction with his laser, thus immediately taking that pressure off the nerves, and producing immediate relief.

April 16th, 2010 -- Posted in anesthesia for spine surgery under sedation | No Comments »

OR-Live.com webcast February 22nd at 10:00 AM EST From Roosevelt Hospital, NY

Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of doctor’s visits and absences from work for health reasons, and will affect many Americans during their lives. In most cases, lower back pain is caused by a strain to a muscle or ligament that supports the lumbar spine, and can be relieved through rest, stretching and/or strengthening exercises or medication.

If conservative treatment has failed, and you still have severe pain 2 to 3 months after diagnosis of a herniated lumbar disc pressing on a spinal nerve, you may benefit from minimally invasive spine surgery, and the METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy procedure could be the solution for you.

On February 22, 2008, at 10am EST, Dr. Noel Perin, an internationally known neurosurgeon at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City who specializes in disorders of the spine, will perform a METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy to treat a herniated lumbar spinal disc, which can cause severe lower pack pain. The METRx Micro Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that can provide relief of this severe back pain with minimum surgical trauma, and a quick return to normal activities.
