The following spine procedures are offered at New Jersey Neck & Back Institute, P.C.:

  • Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion – Instrumented – Two vertebrae in the neck are fused together with a bone graft, titanium plate and screws in order to relieve pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord caused by degenerative disc disease, disc herniation and other conditions
  • Cervical Laminectomy, Fusion – Instrumented – The lamina (back part of a vertebra) is removed in order to enlarge the spinal canal and help relieve pressure on the nerves
  • Cervical Laminoplasty – A decompression procedure to help spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, syringomyelia and cervical spondylotic myelopathy
  • Posterior Cervical Laminotomy – A portion of the lamina is removed to help relieve pressure on the spinal cord
  • Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) – The patient’s spine is accessed through small incisions made on the side of the body in order to remove disc material and fuse the vertebrae together with a cage, bone graft and sometimes screws
  • Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) – Removes a large portion of a degenerated disc and replaces it with bone graft materials before fusing the vertebrae together; screws and rods can provide additional stabilization
  • Lumbar Laminectomy – When bony overgrowths compress the spinal column, this procedure relieves radiating symptoms, such as weakness, numbness and tingling
  • Lumbar Laminectomy and Fusion – Instrumented – Helps correct spinal stenosis by removing the lamina, inserting bone grafts and using instrumentation to stabilize
