Michigan Brain and Spine Surgery Center is pleased to announce that Dr. Lucia Zamorano performed the first Endoscopic Lumbar Fusion in Michigan using Rise IntraLiF system of Globus Medical. “We are able to perform a lumbar fusion through an 8.5 mm cannula using endoscopic visualization; with the expandable cage we can restore the disc height with a controlled distraction and optimal fitting”, explains Dr. Zamorano.
Endoscopic Lumbar Fusion is the most Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery technique to perform a fusion and “it will revolutionize and change the ways we do fusions, minimizing the approach, causing less damage to normal structures and improving the biomechanical construct with better patients outcomes” Dr. Zamorano adds.
