Areas of Specialization
Complex spine surgery refers to surgical cases that treat complex conditions such as scoliosis, adult spine deformities or surgery across more than three spinal segments (or levels). These surgeons have a subspecialty in complex spine surgery.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) aims to stabilize the vertebral bones and spinal joints and relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. Minimally invasive spine surgery can be faster, safer and require less recovery time because there is reduced trauma to the muscles and soft tissues surrounding the spine.

The MAZOR X Stealth™ robotic guidance uses 3D planning software to allow real-time visualization relative to the preoperative plan. This navigation tool is available at Sentara Princess Anne Hospital.
Spinal pain can be caused by pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord. Common conditions include herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, sciatica and spinal stenosis (spinal canal narrowing). Our surgeons specialize in many types of spine surgery, including:
- Decompression
- Disc Replacement
- Discectomy
- Fusion
- Laminectomy
- Kyphoplasty
The surgery your surgeon suggests for you depends on your presenting symptoms and imaging.
