Spinal Surgery By Dr. Anders Cohen Features Use Of Advanced Tools and Techniques

Spinal surgery is the trademark procedure of Dr. Anders Cohen. His surgical technique has greatly improved with the use of preoperative imaging technology. This technology has enabled Dr. Cohen to correctly diagnose and identify an anatomic lesion which has caused the patient to suffer from pain.

The best way to identify an anatomic lesion which causes the patient so much pain is through magnetic resonance imaging or MRI. It accurately identifies what part of the spine is experiencing a physiological anomaly. In addition to this, Anders Cohen maps out the right way to operate the patient in order to reduce the risks of side effects brought about by traditional techniques. Due to his cutting edge surgical techniques, most of his patients are able to leave the hospital after 24 to 48 hours without any significant side effects

XLIF is one of the advanced surgical techniques being performed by Dr. Anders Cohen. This technique is minimally invasive, as it features operating from the side of the patient. This means that the major organs, the muscle groups in the back, and the blood vessels in the abdomen are all avoided. Preoperative symptoms disappear immediately, and recovery time is remarkably fast. Patients usually can go home after one to two days, and since muscles are only split rather than cut, patients could get up and walk the night after their surgery.

Dynamic Stabilization System is another breakthrough surgical technique that features the use of flexible materials and do not create a major disturbance to the body’s anatomical structure. By using polycarbonate urethane along with titanium alloy screws, a fusion treatment is created for the patient so that the affected joints are stabilized at rest, in flexion and extension. Like XLIF, it is also a minimally disruptive procedure. This is recommended for patients with degenerative changes in their intervertebral discs that already cause chronic pain.

By using preoperative imaging technology and advanced techniques, Dr. Anders Cohen offers patients the best in spinal surgery.
