Services
Robotic Spine Surgery
Robotic-assisted spinal surgery enhances precision during complex procedures, minimizing tissue damage and recovery time. This technology allows Dr. Rappoport to correct deformities, perform fusions, and address degenerative conditions with unmatched accuracy. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, reduced pain, and faster return to daily activities.
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion permanently connects vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, relieving pain from instability or deformity. Dr. Rappoport performs anterior, posterior, and lateral approaches, tailoring techniques to each patient's anatomy. This procedure is ideal for treating fractures, scoliosis, or severe disc degeneration.
Herniated Disc Repair
Herniated disc treatment includes minimally invasive discectomy and microsurgical techniques to remove damaged disc material pressing on nerves. Dr. Rappoport focuses on preserving spinal stability while alleviating pain, numbness, or weakness caused by nerve compression.
Spinal Stenosis Care
We address spinal stenosis through decompression procedures like laminectomy to widen spinal canals and relieve nerve pressure. Treatment plans combine physical therapy, injections, and surgical options to restore mobility and reduce chronic pain in affected patients.
SI Joint Fusion
Minimally invasive SI joint fusion stabilizes the sacroiliac joint using implants to treat chronic lower back pain. This procedure targets instability or arthritis, offering long-term relief through small incisions and rapid recovery protocols.
