Minimally invasive spine surgery
Smaller incisions, less muscle disruption, and faster recovery for the neck and back conditions that need surgery.
Our spine surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques that relieve nerve compression and instability through small incisions. For appropriate candidates, these outpatient procedures mean less pain, less blood loss, and a return home the same day instead of a hospital stay.

What to Expect
Your visit, step by step
Pre-Surgical Consultation
Your surgeon reviews your imaging and history, confirms you are a candidate for outpatient surgery, and answers your questions so you know exactly what to expect.
Pre-Op Preparation
Our team verifies your benefits, completes pre-operative testing, and gives you clear instructions on medications, eating, and what to bring on the day of surgery.
Day of Surgery
You arrive, meet your anesthesia and nursing team, and your procedure is performed in our accredited operating suite. Most patients are home the same day.
Recovery & Follow-Up
You recover comfortably in our recovery suite, go home with detailed instructions, and your surgeon and care team stay in close contact through your follow-up.
Typical Timeline
Minimally invasive decompression patients are often up and moving within hours and back to light activity in 2 to 4 weeks.
Spine Surgery FAQs
Can spine surgery really be done as an outpatient?
Yes. Many decompression and disc procedures are now performed safely in accredited surgery centers for appropriate candidates, with the patient going home the same day.
Will I need a fusion?
Not always. Many conditions are treated with decompression or disc replacement that preserve motion. Your surgeon will recommend the least-invasive option that solves the problem.
