Mr. Woods underwent a successful microdecompression surgery in his lumbar spine for nerve impingement, his statement said.

“The surgery went smoothly, and I’m hopeful this will help alleviate the back spasms and pain I was experiencing throughout most of the 2024 season,” Mr. Woods said in the statement.

This is his sixth career back surgery, according to a Sports Illustrated report. He had previous surgeries to address disc issues in his lower back, along with a spinal fusion.

Dr. Qureshi is chief medical officer of HSS Florida, and he was appointed to the role in July. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
