Our Primary Mission is:
To prevent patients from suffering the irreversible consequences of unnecessarily traumatic spine surgery and to provide better alternatives.
Quote from 2007 book chapter.
2007 Book Chapter - in the medical textbook - Decision Making in Spinal Care - Chapter 63; Copyright 2007 by Thieme
"Minimally invasive" has become a trite phrase that has lost its meaning and is used by different authors to describe totally different things. In the spine field, it is time to replace this language with a less ambiguous perspective focused on whether there is access trauma or not. Any procedure that is larger in the approach to the pathology than is necessary creates potential morbidity for the patient from the access itself.
