Spine Surgery

Spine Surgery Specialty

Spine surgery is a complex specialty that requires technical precision, advanced experience, and deep knowledge of spinal anatomy. Dr. Aldo Avellaneda specializes in complex spinal procedures using the most advanced techniques available.

Our approach combines minimally invasive methods with traditional procedures when necessary, always prioritizing patient safety and the best possible outcomes.

Procedures Performed

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Advanced techniques that reduce tissue trauma, minimize postoperative pain, and allow for faster recovery. Includes microdiscectomy, foraminotomy, and spinal decompression.

Spinal Fusion

Vertebral arthrodesis procedures to stabilize the spine in cases of instability, severe degeneration, or deformities. Includes cervical, lumbar, and thoracolumbar fusion.

Disc Herniation Surgery

Surgical treatment of cervical and lumbar disc herniations causing radiating pain, weakness, or neurological symptoms. Includes discectomy and artificial disc replacement.

Deformity Correction

Surgery for scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal deformities. Use of modern instrumentation to correct and stabilize the spine.

Spinal Stenosis Surgery

Decompression of the spinal cord or compressed nerves due to narrowing of the spinal canal. Laminectomy, laminoplasty, and foraminotomy.

Resection of benign and malignant tumors of the spine and spinal cord, with focus on preserving neurological function.
