Orthopedic spine surgeon Fady Hijji, MD, performs the procedure at NAO, where he recently completed his third such surgery. 

The minimally invasive procedure is only offered at “a handful of specialized medical centers,” according to the report. 

The endoscopic surgery leads to less muscle trauma, faster recovery times and reduced post-operative pain. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
