Back pain can be scary. For back and leg pain that has failed nonoperative management, endoscopic spine surgery can be an excellent option. Here, Dr. Vizzone is using an endoscopic camera to remove a disc herniation. In the final picture, you can see the nerve that was causing the pain, at the top of the screen, completely free of any compression caused by the disc herniation. This patient had complete relief of their pain immediately after surgery.

Dr. Vizzone has been a pioneer in endoscopic spine surgery for the past twenty years. He was one of the first in the nation and world to focus his practice on endoscopic spine surgery.

At OSSNJ, Dr. Jerald Vizzone and Dr. Joseph Albano are experts in treating back pain. Through an incision the size of a dime, and with the use of a specialized and state of the art camera, incredible pain relief can be achieved by taking the pressure off of the nerves which lead to back and leg pain. With endoscopic spine surgery, patients go home the same day, and most complain of just mild soreness after surgery. Compared with traditional spine surgery, endoscopic spine surgery has significantly quicker recovery times and less pain postoperatively. Patients often report immediate relief of the pain that has been debilitating them for so long.

Call today to see if you are a candidate for this revolutionary treatment.

Staying on top of the most cutting-edge technology is critical to offering your patients the best treatment possible. While the best surgery is no surgery at all, technology plays a key roll in making surgery safe and effective.

Here, Dr. Albano is testing out the Augmedics Xvision Spine System which uses Augmented Reality to assist surgeons in improving accuracy when placing instrumentation in the spine. With the headset he is wearing, Dr. Albano can see the patient’s anatomy through the skin. It’s just like x-ray vision.

The best kind of surgery is no surgery at all, but for neck and arm pain that has failed nonoperative treatment, motion sparing surgery such as cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) may be an excellent option. This procedure allows for continued motion in the spine, compared to fusion which restrictions motion and can put strain on the rest of the neck. At OSSNJ, Dr. Vizzone and Dr. Albano are well versed and expertly trained in CDA as an alternative to fusion. Dr. Albano has the distinction of implanting the first Simplify Cervical Disc Arthroplasty in the country, and Dr. Vizzone is the number one surgeon in New Jersey for using disc arthroplasty. Schedule your appointment today to see if you are a candidate for this surgery. www.ossnj.com

Over the course of the last several decades, cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has emerged as a surgical alternative for neck pain and cervical radiculopathy or arm pain. Compared with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), CDA has been shown to be superior in clinical outcomes for neck pain and disability at two and 4 years, and more closely resemble native motion of the cervical spine. CDA has also been shown to have lower reoperation and readmission rates over a 30-day period as well as over 5 years. A major reason for this is the ability to maintain or even restore motion to a diseased cervical spine segment to more closely resemble the native spine, without significantly affecting the adjacent levels.
