BioSpine Consult Video
Welcome to BioSpine Institute. The physicians at the
BioSpine Institute have successfully performed
over 40,000 surgeries and have treated
over 70,000 patients. This extraordinary record is
a result of extensive training and experience, combined
with the exceptional skills and attention to detail of
the BioSpine surgical team. During medical
school, doctors are trained to perform spine surgery
only in the traditional manner, through large 4 to
6 inch incisions. However, the
surgeons at BioSpine realized another option
produced far better outcomes for patients, the minimally
invasive approach. The precision and detail of
the minimally invasive approach can only be developed
through in-depth one on one teaching and literally
hundreds of hours of practice. It is a commitment that
most surgeons are not prepared to make. The surgeons at
BioSpine are pioneers in the field, leading consumer
publications such as Newsweek, ProPublica, Healthgrades,
and Consumer Reports have recognized the
BioSpine surgeons for their top of the
nation surgical outcomes. And along with performing
all their surgeries using the minimally
invasive approach, they provide
training and guidance to visiting spine surgeons
aspiring to transition to the minimally
invasive approach. Standing behind your surgeons
is the BioSpine team, a group of medical
professionals who are 100% dedicated to your care. Let's talk more about the
minimally invasive approach and what the benefits
are to you as the patient and how it differs from
traditional surgery. It's simple. Imagine two doctors. They've attended the
same medical school. They were both
top of their class and completed challenging
and impressive residencies. They both chose to
specialize in spine surgery and have spent years performing
successful surgeries. These two surgeons have
taken nearly identical professional paths. However, one of these surgeons
performs spine surgery using a traditional approach. The other, much like
a BioSpine surgeon, uses a minimally
invasive approach. The types of surgeries that
these two surgeons can perform are exactly the same. And ultimately, the surgical
repair will be the same. The only difference is
their surgical approach. This doctor's
traditional approach requires an incision
of 4 to 6 inches. Once that incision
has been made, retractors stretch that opening
even larger, muscles are cut, and the surgery itself
can take several hours. This doctor's minimally
invasive approach requires an incision
of only 3/4 of an inch, approximately the
size of a penny. There is absolutely
no cutting of muscle and a very minimal blood loss. Working within
this smaller space offers less risk of infection. The surgery is usually
completed in under an hour and doesn't require
any hospital stay. While the spine is repaired
identically in each surgery, the minimally invasive
approach provides less pain, less disruption to the body,
and a lower chance of infection. It's the combination of
these benefits that creates the greatest reward of all. Surgery performed using
a minimally invasive approach here at BioSpine leads
to a much faster recovery. Instead of spending several
nights in a hospital, you'll be walking
through your own doorway on the same day as surgery. You'll get back to living
your life, back to being you. Thank you for allowing us this
time to introduce ourselves and explain the
BioSpine difference. We encourage you
to ask questions and get to know us better. We can't wait to help you
get back to being you.
