Spine Surgery in Los Angeles

Nearly 85% of all Los Angeles residents are affected by back pain at some point in their lives. Though back pain is a trivial worry for many of those it affects, others suffer from severe and acute back pain that does not go away. For many people, the cause of severe back pain is due to a herniated disc in their spine. Sports, lifting heavy objects, and not taking proper care of the spine are among the common causes of herniated discs, which unfortunately can only be treated with surgery. Los Angeles residents suffering with herniated discs experience excruciating pain that can be debilitating. If a herniated disc is pressing into a nerve, the only way to provide relief for the pain is through spine surgery.

Traditional spine surgery requires general anesthesia and only provides relief for about 70% of people who elect to undergo surgery. Since the spine is such a sensitive area of the body, there are huge risks involved with the traditional method of spine surgery to alleviate herniated discs. However, one Los Angeles doctor has been at the forefront of pioneering a new, less invasive spine surgery in Los Angeles with much better results. Dr. Rezaian is a Los Angeles-based orthopedic and spine surgeon who provides a new type of spine surgery in Los Angeles known as Universal Endoscopic Laser Discectomy (UED).

Universal Endoscopic Laser Discectomy enables Dr. Rezaian to make a small incision under local anesthesia and treat the herniated disc efficiently and much more effectively. This amazing new spinal surgery technique leaves no major scarring, is an outpatient procedure and requires less time to heal and return to normal activity, providing an all-around better solution than traditional spine surgery.

Recent Development in surgery of the spine

1. Herniated disc, of cervical spine is accompanied by neck, arm(s). forearm(s) pain, numbness and weaknesses. If the symptoms will not be relieved by conservative treatment such as medication, physical therapy for 3 to 6 months then surgical treatment is recommended. The classic surgical treatment consists of removal of cervical disc under general anesthesia and fusion of spine using bone graft from patient's own pelvic (Cloward or Smith? Robinson techniques.). Those techniques involve an incision in front of neck 3 to 5 days hospitalization with 3 to 6 months rehabilitation with 70% good results. As a pioneer in the field of spine surgery, today I remove just the herniated part of the disc through a tiny 1/10th inch incision as an outpatient procedure with excellent results) in over 98% of cases. No cervical fusion, no neck brace, no second incision on pelvis of patient is necessary. The results are good to excellent in 98% of cases.

2. Herniated disc of lumbar spine with sciatica, also if it does not respond to conservative treatment e.g. medication, rest, physical therapy, etc. Surgical treatment also is recommended. The classic surgical treatment consists of Laminectomy and Discectomy. Such an operation requires general anesthesia and 3 to 7 days hospitalization with 6 to 12 months rehabilitation, The result of such a surgery is satisfactory in less than 70% good. Many of those patients are laborers who will never be able to go back to their previous job. However, I treat those patients with minimal invasive surgery (endoscopic micro surgery) under local anesthesia, again as an out patient procedure. The results are good to excellent in 95% cases. Nearly all return to the same job as truck driver, painter, plumber, policemen, nurse, orthopedic surgeon, etc., in a matter of few weeks, On 1200 cases, whom I have operated excellent or good results have been accomplished in 98% of patient, fair in 3%, unknown 3%.

3. Burst and compressed fracture of spine due to trauma or cancer is a human disaster., The condition is extremely painful and in many occasion needs many weeks even months of hospitalization. In many occasions the best result is a wheel chair bounded patient indefinitely. I am extremely pleased to inform you that I have invented the Rezaian Spinal Fixator approved by F.D.A. According to my technique, patient will be hospitalized 5 to 10 days. No external brace is required, Many wheelchair bounded patients with incomplete paraplegia may walk in 7-10 days.
