Dr. Anders Cohen: A Pioneer in Minimally-Invasive Surgical Methods

When it comes to developments in the field of neurosurgery, Dr. Anders Cohen is an expert on the use of newer treatment methods affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems and the spine. The AxiaLIF (Trans1) and XLIF procedures that he developed are cutting-edge spinal surgery techniques that are minimally invasive, less expensive, and require a much shorter recovery period for patients.

In the past, spinal surgery was very expensive and extremely invasive, thus making the recovery period long, costly, and very painful for those who suffer from spinal disorders. Now, because of the procedures that Dr. Cohen developed, patients who have been operated on using these advanced methods can be released 24 hours after surgery and eventually return to their daily routines after only 2-3 weeks of recovery at home.

Dr. Anders Cohen is a graduate of the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine. He now serves as the head of the Neurosurgery Unit of the Brooklyn Hospital Center, and delivers lectures on the newest techniques and technologies in the field of neurology.
