Patients Rely On The Skill and Experience Of Anders Cohen In Performing Spinal Fusion

When people with serious spinal disorders need to undergo spinal fusion surgery, they need a surgeon they can trust. Neurosurgeon Anders Cohen, who has the skill and experience to perform spinal fusion, has earned the trust of the many patients he has helped over the years.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that involves joining together or “fusing” one or more vertebrae of the spine to stop them from moving against each other. Bone grafts or bone graft substitutes are placed between the affected vertebrae. In time, the bone and bone graft grow together. Dr. Cohen is adept at performing spinal fusion to treat a number of conditions such as fractured vertebrae, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, kyphosis, protruding or degenerated discs, or instability of the spine.

Spinal fusion can be performed using traditional and modern surgical techniques. While trained in both methods, Dr. Cohen is highly skilled in performing spinal fusion using the newer, minimally invasive procedures. These new procedures have gained ground in the field of neurosurgery because they are typically less risky depending on the patient’s condition and the type of surgery required, and are easier to recover from.

In general, surgery is done on patients only after conservative treatments fail. Patients have come to trust and respect Anders Cohen because he takes the time and effort to understand his patients’ condition and explain the options available to them, as well as the different spinal fusion approaches that he can use to treat patients’ particular condition. He has performed surgical procedures to the satisfaction of hundreds of patients over his many years in practice.

Dr. Cohen is internationally renowned for his pioneering work using minimally invasive techniques to treat brain and spinal disorders. Besides being skilled in spinal fusion procedures, he is also certified in artificial disc implantation. In addition, he pioneered endoscopic lumbar decompression to treat small disc herniations.
