Region

Operations on the cervical spine, performed through a small incision at the front of the neck.

Region

Joins two lower back vertebrae into one solid unit with screws, rods and a cage to stop painful motion.

Reaches the disc through a small incision in the abdomen, avoiding the back muscles, then secures it from behind.
