Detailed pre-operative instructions, procedure information, and recovery guides for each of Dr. Kazarian's surgeries.
For each procedure below, you'll find detailed information on preparation, what to expect on the day of surgery, recovery timelines, and post-operative care. These guides open in our dedicated Surgery Portal.
ACDF
A well-established procedure to relieve neck and arm pain from a damaged or herniated cervical disc.
CDR
A motion-preserving alternative to fusion — replaces a damaged cervical disc with an artificial implant designed to mimic natural neck movement.
Endoscopic Microdiscectomy
Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (BESS) — among the least invasive ways to address disc herniations and spinal stenosis in the lumbar spine.
Endoscopic TLIF
A next-generation lumbar fusion that combines the structural goals of a traditional TLIF with the tissue-sparing advantages of endoscopic surgery.
Lumbar Fusion
Permanently joins two or more vertebrae in the lower back to eliminate painful motion and restore spinal stability.
ALIF
A two-stage spinal surgery that combines an anterior approach through a small abdominal incision with robotic-guided posterior pedicle screw fixation.
Lateral Interbody Fusion
A minimally invasive spine surgery that reaches the damaged disc through a small incision on the side rather than through the back.
