A medical team at Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, Ga., has completed the system’s first ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery.
The procedure was performed by orthopedic surgeon Vamsi Kancherla, MD, using Arthrex endoscopic spine technology, according to a June 18 news release.
The minimally invasive procedure eliminates the need for a large incision, minimizing disruption and damage to nearby muscles. It can often be performed in the outpatient setting, letting patients go home the same day.
