Frequently Asked Questions
Get expert insights on neurosurgery and spine care, including conditions, treatments, and post-surgery recovery with Dr. Wong.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses small incisions (typically less than 1 inch) and specialized instruments to access the spine. This approach results in less muscle damage, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Most patients experience significantly less post-operative pain.
Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure. Many minimally invasive surgeries allow patients to return home the same day or within 24 hours. Most patients can resume light activities within 2-4 weeks and return to full activity within 6-12 weeks. Dr. Wong provides personalized recovery timelines during your consultation.
Artificial disc replacement is an alternative to spinal fusion that preserves motion at the treated level. A damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial device that mimics natural disc function. This can help prevent the development of adjacent segment disease that sometimes occurs after fusion surgery.
Preparation includes pre-operative testing, medication adjustments, and following specific instructions about eating and drinking before surgery. Dr. Wong's team provides comprehensive pre-operative instructions and is available to answer any questions. Stopping smoking and optimizing overall health before surgery improves outcomes.
