Neurosurgery Procedures

Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Relieve spinal cord or nerve root pressure in the neck by removing a damaged disc. The space is then stabilized with a bone graft or implant, helping to restore alignment, reduce pain, and improve function in the cervical spine.

Cervical Disc Replacement

A motion-preserving surgery that involves removing a damaged cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial one. This procedure relieves nerve compression while maintaining natural neck movement, offering an alternative to spinal fusion for selected patients with cervical disc disease and associated arm or neck pain.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Surgical treatment for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It involves implanting electrodes in specific brain areas, connected to a pulse generator. The system delivers electrical impulses to regulate abnormal brain activity, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

Microdiscectomy

Minimally invasive spine surgery is used to remove a portion of a herniated disc that’s pressing on a spinal nerve. Through a small incision and using a microscope, surgeons relieve nerve compression, helping reduce leg pain (sciatica), numbness, and weakness, while preserving most of the disc.

Minimally Invasive Laminotomy

Surgical procedure that removes a small portion of the lamina—the back part of the vertebra—to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Using small incisions and specialized tools, it reduces pain and nerve symptoms with less tissue disruption and faster recovery time.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Advanced techniques and small incisions to treat spinal conditions such as herniated discs, stenosis, and instability. By minimizing muscle and tissue disruption, MISS typically results in less pain, reduced scarring, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.

Revision Spine Surgery

Performed to correct or improve the outcome of a previous spine procedure that did not achieve the desired results or caused new problems. It addresses issues like persistent pain, hardware failure, or spinal instability, aiming to restore function, relieve symptoms, and enhance overall spinal health.

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Pain management procedure that uses a small implanted device to deliver electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, helping patients with chronic back, leg, or nerve pain experience significant relief and improved quality of life.

ReActiv8

An implantable neurostimulation system designed to treat chronic low back pain caused by muscle dysfunction. It delivers electrical pulses to the nerves that control key stabilizing muscles in the lower back, helping restore muscle control, improve spine stability, and reduce pain over time through functional rehabilitation.

Lumbar Artificial Disc Replacement

A motion-preserving procedure that replaces a damaged disc in the lower spine with an artificial one. This surgery relieves nerve compression and back pain while maintaining natural spine movement, offering an alternative to spinal fusion for certain patients with degenerative disc disease.

Spine Surgery

A range of procedures to treat conditions affecting the spinal column, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, deformities, and instability. Techniques vary from minimally invasive to complex reconstructions, all aimed at relieving pain, restoring function, and improving quality of life by addressing the underlying spinal issue.

Neuromodulation Treatments

In addition to brain surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery, these treatments also include spinal cord stimulation, deep brain stimulation, magnetic resonance therapy, and other forms of neuromodulation. Dr. Taghva also offers motion-sparing, minimally invasive spine surgery alternatives to spinal fusion, with many of his patients returning home the day of surgery.
