The Center for Minimally Invasive Brain and Spine Surgery at NeuroTexas Institute offers a clinical pathway to surgical excellence. Our commitment to cutting-edge protocols of care combined with a seamless access to the latest diagnostic and surgical technologies, aim at reducing hospital stay and physical impacts of surgery.
Larger incisions and disruption to healthy tissue can lead to significant post-operative pain. By using minimal surgical access techniques, our physicians can successfully treat patients and achieve the same results while causing less damage to healthy tissue. This reduces post-operative pain, minimizes scarring, facilitates rehabilitation, and allows a quicker return to recreational and professional activities.
As a patient, you will experience timely access to quality, individualized and compassionate care, coordinated by the neurosurgical nurse practitioner.
Traditional Surgery versus Minimally Invasive Surgery
While traditional open surgery allows physicians to easily see and access the brain and spine, the large incisions and disruption to healthy tissue can lead to significant post-operative pain. By using minimal access surgical techniques, our physicians can successfully treat patients and achieve the same results while causing less damage to healthy tissue. This reduces post-operative pain, minimizes scarring, facilitates rehabilitation, and allows a quicker return to normal activities.
