Our team of highly skilled neurosurgeons is dedicated to providing the best care possible using the latest minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Sathi obtained his B.S. Neuroscience with high distinction in research, summa cum laude and was salutatorian of his graduating class at the University of Rochester (1985). He is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
He finished his M.D. at Harvard Medical School (1989) in Boston, MA and continued his interest in the neurosciences by training in neurosurgery.
Dr. Steven P. Leon is a board certified neurosurgeon with specialization in spinal surgery. He completed a spinal surgery fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Neurosurgery, a Neurological Surgery Residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Children’s Hospital (Harvard Program) and graduated with honors from Harvard Medical School.
He treats spinal tumors, trauma, infection, deformity and degenerative diseases. He offers both operative and non-operative treatments. Skills range from minimally-invasive surgery/treatment to complex spinal reconstruction.
WHAT TO EXPECT +
We helped a 36-year-old female with chronic back pain that was worsening by the day. She could not stand at the kitchen sink to wash dishes and was unable to cook for her family. Her pain was not improving with pain management. Through a minimally invasive, multi-level deformity correction surgery, her abnormal scoliotic curve was corrected without the need for an extended hospital stay or blood transfusions, which are often required in traditional open spine surgery. After surgery, this patient was able to discontinue the use of pain medications and regain her quality of life.
Our minimally invasive spine surgery techniques involve small incisions and the use of specialized tools to separate muscles rather than cutting them. This approach minimizes trauma, reduces recovery time, and leads to better outcomes for our patients.
How It Works:
Minimally invasive spine surgery involves using specialized techniques and instruments to perform spinal procedures through small incisions, reducing damage to muscles and tissues, leading to faster recovery and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Minimally invasive spine surgery can treat a variety of conditions, including disc herniation, spinal stenosis, degenerative spine disease, failed back surgery syndrome, adult spinal deformities (scoliosis), vertebral compression fractures, spinal tumors, and nerve compression.
Candidates for minimally invasive spine surgery are typically those who have not found relief from conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or epidural injections. Our neurosurgeons will perform a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests, to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific condition.
Benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery include smaller incisions, less muscle and tissue damage, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, and minimal scarring. It also lowers the risk of complications and improves surgical precision.
Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure and individual patient factors. However, most patients experience a significantly faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgery, often returning to their normal activities within a few weeks.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. However, minimally invasive spine surgery generally has fewer risks compared to traditional surgery. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and complications related to anesthesia. Our neurosurgeons will discuss all potential risks with you before the surgery.
Preparation may include preoperative tests, adjusting current medications, and following specific instructions regarding eating and drinking before surgery. Our team will provide you with detailed preoperative guidelines to ensure you are fully prepared.
During the procedure, our neurosurgeons will make small incisions and use specialized instruments and imaging technology to perform the surgery. The goal is to minimize tissue damage and precisely address the spinal issue. The procedure typically takes less time than traditional surgery.
Physical therapy is often recommended to aid in recovery and help restore strength and mobility. Our team will develop a personalized postoperative care plan, including physical therapy, to ensure the best possible outcome.
