Campbell Clinic is proud to be the only provider in the Greater Memphis area offering ultra minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery. Performed by specialists, this advanced procedure uses state-of-the-art technology to treat spinal conditions with less pain, lower risks, and a faster return to daily activities.

What is Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery is an advancement of Minimally Invasive Surgery. It uses endoscopic tools to create even smaller incisions, often resulting in less overall tissue damage. Through a single 8mm incision, a scope and instruments can be inserted to complete a spine surgery. These tools allow surgeons get a clear view of the surgical site and address spine problems without a large incision.

This procedure is easier on the body than traditional open surgery. As a result, recovery times improve, and the risk of infection decreases.

Ultra Minimally Invasive Surgery is an outpatient procedure, and doctors often release patients within a few hours of treatment. This procedure is done at our mid-south surgery center located in Germantown on Wolf River Blvd.

Who Needs Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Patients suffering from a variety of spinal conditions can benefit from this surgery. The most common conditions suitable for this treatment are:

• Bone Spurs
• Spinal Stenosis
• Sciatica
• Cervical disc herniations
• Spine cysts

This surgery is also effective in managing the pain associated with conditions like herniated discs. Injuries can cause the gel inside a disc to leak, which puts pressure on the nerves and leads to moderate to severe pain. Doctors can use Ultra Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery to relive this pressure by removing herniated or damaged discs. This is a particularly beneficial option for those who have tried conventional treatments like physical therapy and injections without successful outcomes. It is often an option to avoid spine fusion procedures.
