Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion-ALIF

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a sophisticated procedure that approaches the spine from the front. This technique allows for better access to the diseased disc, potentially resulting in more complete disc removal and fusion. Dr. Melikian's expertise in this procedure can lead to improved outcomes and faster recovery times for patients with specific lumbar spine conditions.

Endoscopic Microdiscectomy

Endoscopic Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated discs. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, Dr. Melikian can remove the portion of the disc that's causing pain with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This approach often results in quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries.

Extreme Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion-XLIF

Extreme Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (XLIF) is an innovative approach to spinal fusion that accesses the spine from the side. This technique can be particularly beneficial for certain types of spinal conditions, as it avoids major back muscles and may result in less pain and faster recovery. Dr. Melikian's proficiency in XLIF offers patients a modern alternative to more traditional fusion procedures.

Lumbar Disk Replacement

Lumbar Disk Replacement is an advanced procedure that replaces a damaged disc with an artificial one. This surgery aims to maintain spinal mobility and reduce the risk of adjacent segment disease often associated with fusion procedures. Dr. Melikian's expertise in this technique offers patients a potential alternative to fusion, particularly for those seeking to maintain range of motion in their spine.

Lumbar Microdecompression

Lumbar Microdecompression is a minimally invasive procedure used to relieve pressure on nerves in the lower back. This technique involves removing small portions of bone or ligament that may be compressing nerves. Dr. Melikian's skill in this procedure allows for effective relief of symptoms with minimal tissue disruption, potentially leading to faster recovery times.

Lumbar Microdiscectomy
