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.
