Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is an advanced technique that uses small incisions, specialized instruments, and state-of-the-art imaging to treat spine conditions with less trauma to surrounding muscles and tissues. This approach leads to faster recovery, reduced post-operative pain, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Maalouly utilizes these techniques to treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal conditions with precision and care.
-
Endoscopic Spine Surgery is a highly specialized form of minimally invasive surgery that uses a small camera and tubular instruments to access and treat spinal disorders through a tiny incision often less than 1 cm. This technique allows for targeted treatment with minimal disruption to healthy tissue, significantly reducing recovery time. It is particularly effective for treating disc herniations, sciatica, and spinal nerve compression.

Robotic and navigation-assisted spine surgery combines the surgeon’s expertise with cutting-edge technology to enhance surgical accuracy and safety. Real-time 3D imaging and robotic guidance help precisely place implants and navigate complex spinal anatomy. These tools improve outcomes, lower complication risks, and allow for consistently high levels of surgical precision especially important in cases of spinal deformity, fusion, and reconstruction.
-
SIJ Fusion is a minimally invasive procedure used to stabilize the sacroiliac joint, which connects the spine to the pelvis and can be a source of chronic lower back or pelvic pain. When conservative treatments fail, SIJ fusion offers an effective solution by fusing the joint to eliminate abnormal motion and alleviate pain. Dr. Maalouly employs the latest techniques to ensure minimal disruption and a smooth recovery for patients suffering from SI joint dysfunction.

Pain management is an essential part of orthopedic spine care, especially for patients with chronic back and neck pain. Dr. Maalouly offers a comprehensive range of non-surgical and minimally invasive pain relief options, including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and regenerative therapies. Each treatment plan is personalized to help patients manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life.
