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: 

  • TLIF Fusion
  • Percutaneous Cervical Surgery
  • Percutaneous Disc Surgery
  • Percutaneous Lumbar Surgery
  • Lateral Interbody Fusion
  • Mimimally Invasive Spinal Fusion
