Your surgery is performed by both a Neurosurgeon and Orthopedic Spine Surgeon for optimal safety and outcome. The Neurosurgeons will approach the spine and decompress the nerves and spine cord while the Orthopedic Surgeon will perform the fusion. Each surgeon is there during the entire surgery assisting the other with their particular part. Having two surgeons decreases the chances of any errors or problems and decreases the length of surgery.
