How Anders Cohen Has Reshaped Spinal Surgery

Dr. Anders Cohen is one of today’s most respected surgeons in one of the most complex and delicate surgical fields. For years, Dr. Cohen has mastered spinal surgery and contributed significantly to its advancement. But just how has Dr. Cohen changed the way surgeons deal with this delicate medical practice?

There are several types of spinal surgery and all have associated risks. The spine is a very delicate system through which signals are sent from the brain to the different parts of our body and vice versa. Even minor damage to the spine could cause severe problems, with paralysis as one of the worse outcomes. This is especially true for conventional back surgeries that are highly invasive.

Fortunately, we have Dr. Anders Cohen to thank for advancing the safest methods of back surgery with the AxiaLIF (Trans1) and XLIF procedures which he pioneered in New York. These methods are known to be less invasive and less painful, substantially diminishing the risks associated with back surgery.
