Revolutionizing Minimally Invasive Back and Spine Procedures

Back and spine surgical methods have evolved over the last decade, allowing doctors to perform back and spine surgery using very small incisions – often less than one inch – and tiny cameras and surgical instruments. Consequently, patients spend less time in the hospital and recovering.  

Sutter Health network back and spine surgeons offer a variety of minimally invasive surgeries, incorporating the most advanced surgical tools and methods available. We offer minimally invasive procedures including: 

  • Kyphoplasty
  • Lateral interbody fusion
  • Minimally invasive spinal fusion
  • Percutaneous cervical surgery
  • Percutaneous disc surgery
  • Percutaneous lumbar surgery
  • Spinal cord fusion
  • Spinal cord stimulation
  • Vertebroplasty
