For many back problems involving just one pinched nerve or one bulging disk in the spine, we offer a minimally invasive surgery that will allow for a short hospital stay, fast recovery, and quick return to work and life.

“They don’t need any fusion or hardware placement,” says Hossam Youssef, M.D. “We do the surgery under the microscope, and they usually leave the hospital on the same day."

Dr. Youssef explained that at CHI St. Vincent, we have the most advanced tools and technologies in the operating room, including a navigation system, microscopes and ultrasound.

"Recently we have the robotic spine surgery. It allows us to do the surgery with significantly fewer complications," said Dr. Youssef.
