Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Dr. Donthineni’s expertise allows him to offer different surgical options, many of those being minimally invasive. If you would like to discuss these options, please call our office to make an appointment.

Minimally invasive spine surgery is done through small incisions and offers several advantages: 

• A few tiny scars instead of one large scar
• Reduced blood loss
• Lesser post-operative pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Shorter recovery time

Some of the procedures done with minimally invasive techniques: 

• Repair of herniated discs
• Decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis
• Lumbar spinal fusión for degenerative discs
• Cervical foraminotomies
• Treatment of vertebral compression fractures
• Treatment of most of the spinal tumors
