Minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgeon Kern Singh, MD, is pioneering the new technique for the system, according to a May 1 press release.
ESS is considered the next generation of minimally invasive spine surgery because it requires no incisions, allows for quicker patient recovery times and places just one to two small holes in the patient’s skin.
Most patients return home the same day with little or no pain medication, according to the release.
Dr. Singh was recently promoted to vice chair of clinical affairs and the director of the division of spine surgery in the department of orthopedic surgery at Rush.
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.
