Vertiflex

Vertiflex Procedure

The Vertiflex Procedure offers a minimally invasive solution for lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition that causes the spinal canal to narrow, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back and legs. Using a small incision and guided by live imaging, surgeons insert a tiny implant between the vertebrae to create space and relieve pressure on the nerves.

 

This 30 to 45-minute outpatient operation has several advantages, including little to no scarring, preserved spinal mobility, and a quick recovery. Candidates frequently report persistent leg or lower back discomfort that does not improve with conservative measures. By decompressing the nerves, the technique significantly reduces symptoms and enhances the patient's quality of life.

 

The Vertiflex Procedure's ultimate goal is to help lumbar spinal stenosis patients regain their comfort and functionality. Although rare, risks include nerve damage, infection, and incomplete relief of symptoms. These risks are minimized through precise surgical techniques and thorough patient evaluations.

How the Vertiflex Procedure Works?

The Vertiflex Procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to alleviate pressure on nerves in the lumbar spine caused by spinal stenosis. Using real-time imaging as guidance, surgeons create a tiny incision and place a customized implant between the damaged vertebrae.

 

Implants work by making room in the spinal canal, which releases pressure from the nerves. This exact method promotes faster healing by reducing damage to the surrounding tissues. The goal of the operation is to reduce symptoms such as leg discomfort, numbness, weakness, and lower back pain by decompressing the nerves.

 

Due to its minimally invasive nature, the Vertiflex Procedure offers advantages like shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and maintained spinal mobility, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
