General & Advanced Surgical Procedures Performed At Texas Vista Medical Center

Procedures include:

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Interbody Fusion (ACDF):

One of the most efficacious procedures that are performed to treat cervical pathologies.

Posterior Cervical Fusion:

Utilizes contemporary fixation techniques for the occipitocervical and upper thoracic spine with the advent of multiaxial screws, laminar hooks, and lateral connector attachments to a longitudinal rod.

Artificial Disk Replacement:

Cervical disc arthroplasty is intended to preserve the motion segment, reduce return to work time, and reduce reoperations due to pseudoarthrosis.

Laminectomy:

Spine operation to remove the portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina for the treatment of severe spinal stenosis by relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Complex Revision and Deformity:

Treatment of fixed, unbalanced adult spinal deformities.

Minimally Invasive Decompression and Fusion:

Minimally invasive decompression and fusion techniques cause less damage to muscles and skin with smaller scars versus open surgery. They also shorter length of hospital stay and decreased blood loss.

Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF):

Surgical technique to stabilize the spinal vertebra and the disc or shock absorber between the vertebra. Lumbar fusion surgery is designed to create solid bone between the adjoining vertebra, eliminating any movement between the bones. The goal of the surgery is to reduce pain and nerve irritation.

Direct Lateral Interbody Fusion (DLIF):

Utilizes integrated image-guided products and neural monitoring tools to help shorten surgical and recovery time and return patients more quickly to normal, active lives. The DLIF procedure delivers accurate, minimally invasive transpsoas access to the lumbar spine to address degenerative, deformity and adjacent level pathologies.
