As a spine surgeon at the Hoag Spine Institute, Dr. Adam Kanter, the Executive Medical Director at the Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute and Chief of Neurosurgery at the Hoag Specialty Clinic, specializes in minimally invasive surgery. What exactly is minimally invasive surgery? According to Dr. Kanter, it’s all about achieving maximum results with minimal disruption. By utilizing advanced retractors and innovative techniques, the goal is to address spinal issues while preserving surrounding tissues and minimizing incisions. With minimally invasive procedures, patients experience shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, and reduced trauma to muscles and bones. That means less pain and faster return to everyday activities!
