Dr. Luis Lombardi is a renowned spinal surgeon based in Los Angeles, California. Experienced in non-traumatic spinal surgery, Dr. Luis Lombardi has focused on the development of innovative techniques in spinal surgeries for the past 17 years.
Non-traumatic Spine Surgery is a unique series of surgical techniques to treat different spinal conditions that avoids cutting, bleeding, and scarring. It is a minimally invasive surgery in the real sense. Non-traumatic discectomy is an outpatient procedure in which the surgeon removes the offending disc fragments. Thanks to its use of a tiny endoscope and innovative nano-tools, the surgery requires no bone removal or cutting of muscle. The procedure is done in an ambulatory surgery center and requires administration of local anesthesia and IV sedation.
During the non-traumatic discectomy procedure, the endoscope is inserted directly to the spot of the problem and the disc fragments that pinch the nerves are removed by the surgeon. The puncture wound is typically the size of a freckle. No stitches are necessary, a simple Band-Aid is enough to seal the tiny opening, and the recovery period for the patient is also short, with the patient returning home on the same day.
