Overviews of Spinal Procedures
SURGICAL
Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Utilizing Rialto™ SI Fusion System & Mazor Robotics Renaissance® Guidance System
Mazor Robotics technology (combined with Rialto Fusion System) takes sacroiliac joint fusion procedures to the next level with its consistent accuracy and proven fusion capabilities. Furthermore, it better enables minimally invasive surgery by replacing the surgeon’s need for a direct field-of-view with a surgical guidance system.
Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant
Spinal cord stimulation (also called SCS) uses electrical impulses to relieve chronic pain of the back, arms and legs. It is believed that electrical pulses prevent pain signals from being received by the brain. SCS candidates include people who suffer from neuropathic pain and for whom conservative treatments have failed.
Micro Endoscopic Discectomy
This minimally-invasive procedure is performed through a tubular device. It is designed to relieve pain caused by herniated discs pressing on nerve roots. This surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis, which allows the patient to leave the hospital the same day.
NON-SURGICAL
Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection
This injection procedure is performed to relieve low back and radiating leg pain. Steroid medication can reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by spinal conditions.
Lumbar Endoscopic Radiofrequency Neurotomy
This minimally-invasive procedure, also called radiofrequency (RF) rhizotomy, reduces or eliminates the pain of damaged facet joints by disrupting the medial branch nerves that carry the pain signals. This procedure is performed with local anesthetic.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to disrupt nerves, reducing pain signals from specific areas of the spine, particularly the facet joints and sacroiliac joints. It's a common treatment for chronic neck or back pain, often used when other methods like nerve blocks haven't been effective.
