Dr. Abbasi is beginning an OLLIF (Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgery, a procedure known for its efficiency and precision.

The OLLIF surgery involves multiple stages, and this first part showcases Dr. Abbasi’s meticulous setup.

This minimally invasive procedure takes an average of just 30 minutes to complete, making it significantly quicker than traditional surgeries.

The reduced surgery time, combined with smaller incisions, leads to faster patient recovery and less time spent in the operating room.

Neck and back pain are common complaints that can significantly impact your quality of life.

While acute injuries or underlying health conditions can be contributing factors, many people suffer from neck and back pain due to everyday habits.

These habits, often developed over time, can strain the muscles, ligaments, and spinal discs, leading to discomfort or chronic pain.

Recognizing and correcting these bad habits is essential for maintaining a healthy spine and reducing the risk of pain.

By recognizing and addressing these bad habits, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing neck and back pain.

Small changes in your daily routine can have a big impact on your spine health, leading to a more comfortable and pain-free life.

Dr. Abbasi is meticulous in preparing the surgical environment to ensure the utmost comfort and safety for our patients.

He carefully sets up the surgical table, placing a large cushion to support the patient’s chest and smaller cushions for the hips.

This setup is crucial for maintaining proper alignment and stability during surgery, reducing pressure on the body, and enhancing the overall effectiveness of the procedure.

Taking the time to set up correctly is vital to achieving the best possible outcomes.

What is a Collapsed Disc?

A collapsed disc occurs when the discs of the spine lose their normal height over time due to disc degeneration or reduction of the fibrous outer wall. A collapsed disc can also happen because of the natural aging process, spinal arthritis, or due to an injury.

Spinal arthritis, or osteoarthritis, and degenerative disc disease are the most common causes of a collapsed disc. To a lesser degree, the affected patient may be suffering from a collapsed disc resulting from a bulging or herniated disc.

The severity of a collapsed disc varies. In fact, some people may not experience any initial symptoms from a collapsed disc. But if the disc begins interfering with the surrounding nerves in the spine, serious complications can result.

Our mission is to help individuals reclaim their lives from the debilitating effects of chronic pain. We are thrilled to share a recent success story that highlights the transformative power of minimally invasive spine surgery.

Our patient was suffering from severe, chronic lower back pain that had drastically impacted their daily life. After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Abbasi recommended an L1-L3 interbody fusion surgery, a minimally invasive procedure designed to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain.

What is L1-L3 Interbody Fusion Surgery?

This advanced surgical technique involves fusing the vertebrae between the first and third lumbar segments (L1-L3) using specialized interbody cages. These cages help maintain the proper spacing and alignment of the vertebrae, promoting bone growth and stability. The procedure is performed through small incisions, minimizing tissue damage and leading to a quicker recovery.

Why Choose Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive procedures like the L1-L3 interbody fusion offer numerous benefits over traditional surgery, including:
- Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions lead to less postoperative pain and faster healing.
- Quicker Recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and a faster return to normal activities.
- Improved Outcomes: Advanced techniques ensure precise results, promoting long-term stability and relief.

If you or a loved one are suffering from chronic back pain, we encourage you to reach out to us at Inspired Spine. Our team, led by Dr. Abbasi, specializes in minimally invasive treatments that can help you regain your quality of life.

Contact us at (612) 200-3748 to learn more about our innovative procedures and how we can assist you on your journey to a pain-free life.

Dr. Abbasi was hosting an exclusive lab session focused on the revolutionary Oblique Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLLIF) technique. This hands-on lab offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from one of the foremost authorities in the field and to gain practical experience with cutting-edge surgical techniques.

During this lab, Dr. Abbasi will provide detailed instruction on the OLLIF procedure, including:

- Imaging Techniques: Participants will gain insights into interpreting imaging used during the OLLIF procedure. The imaging on the right side of the screen represents the Anteroposterior (AP) view, while the imaging on the left side shows the Lateral view. Understanding these perspectives is crucial for accurate navigation and successful outcomes.

- Dilating the Intervertebral Space: Dr. Abbasi will demonstrate the process of dilating the intervertebral space, a critical step in the OLLIF procedure. This involves carefully expanding the space between the vertebrae to access the disc material.

- Removing the Disc and Placing the Cage: The lab will showcase the precise technique for extracting the degenerated disc material and positioning the interbody fusion cage. This step is essential for restoring spine stability and alleviating pain.

This lab is designed for spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and other medical professionals seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge in minimally invasive spine surgery.

Don't miss this chance to elevate your surgical expertise and stay at the forefront of medical innovation. Join Dr. Abbasi and the Inspired Spine team for this transformative lab experience.

SI Joint Dysfunction is a common yet often misunderstood condition that can significantly impact a person's quality of life.

The sacroiliac (SI) joint is located between the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) and the ilium (part of the pelvis). SI Joint Dysfunction occurs when this joint becomes inflamed or damaged, leading to pain and reduced mobility.

SI Joint Dysfunction can develop gradually over time or suddenly due to an injury. Common scenarios include:
- Aging: Degenerative changes in the joint can occur with age.
- Athletic Activities: High-impact sports and activities that strain the lower back and pelvis.
- Accidents and Trauma: Direct impacts to the pelvis or lower back.
- Pregnancy and Childbirth: Hormonal changes and physical stress during pregnancy.

Dr. Hamid Abbasi and his team are performing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), a highly effective procedure for addressing cervical spine issues. ACDF involves removing a damaged disc from the cervical spine through a small incision in the front of the neck. The vertebrae are then fused together, providing stability and relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

ACDF is appropriate for patients suffering from severe neck pain, arm pain, numbness, or weakness caused by herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis that have not responded to conservative treatments. This minimally invasive procedure offers significant benefits, including reduced pain, improved mobility, and a quicker recovery period compared to traditional surgery.

Patients choose ACDF to alleviate debilitating symptoms, restore function, and improve their overall quality of life. Dr. Abbasi and his team are dedicated to providing exceptional care and helping patients return to their normal activities pain-free.
