Onto Orthopedics employs the latest endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical technology for spines. These endoscopic systems uses very small incisions to allow the removal of bulging discs and bone spurs which may be compressing nerves in your back. During the procedure, a very small camera is passed into the epidural space around the spinal column. Pictures are then transmitted to the orthopedist to permit the minimally invasive removal of the abnormal growths. Endoscopic procedures usually take little time and often reduce pain. This approach, as performed by Doctor Hayden, may allow you to avoid larger, more invasive procedures such as fusions or laminectomies.
