 Imagine going home right after spine surgery. For many patients at the University of Tennessee Medical Center, this is a reality. For these patients, it’s about receiving the latest treatments by the most experienced neurosurgeons and having a quick recovery that doesn’t impose on their lives, because life can’t wait.
UT Medical Center’s Brain and Spine Institute opened its newest facility, the Minimally Invasive Spine Center that is dedicated to outpatient spine procedures for treating conditions such as ruptured discs and compression fractures. The center is conveniently located with access that allows you to never enter the main hospital (Medical Building D).
The center offers various procedures, including minimally invasive micro-discectomy and laminectomy, minimally invasive spinal fusion and kyphoplasty. These minimally invasive procedures require small incisions and little down time, allowing patients to leave the same day. There are many benefits to minimally invasive spine procedures.
- Minimal scarring
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Reduced risk of infection
- Greater surgical precision
- Fewer side effects
- Shorter hospital stay
- Quick return to daily activities
