Sanjay K Khurana, MD, a Los Angeles Spine Group board-certified spine surgeon, spoke to WABC Eyewitness News about the AIRO spinal fusion technique.
Here are five notes:
1. The new lumbar decompression and fusion process aids in restoring mobility and chronic back pain relief for patients with sciatica.
2. Dr. Khurana said that chronic back pain patients with sciatica often experience strained mobility and decreased quality of life.
3. The AIRO technique uses GPS technology and CAT scan diagnostic imaging, giving surgeons more accuracy.
4. With this technique, the incisions are smaller and the recovery time is shorter.
5. Dr. Khurana is a pediatric and adult orthopedic spine surgeon, specializing in minimally invasive and robotic spine surgery procedures.
"Minimally invasive spine surgery procedures like AIRO, ALIF and XLIF among others, have revolutionized the way we treat many common back problems and injuries, and enable us to give patients a new lease on life that includes less pain and more freedom," said Dr. Khurana.
