Innovative Leaders in Minimally Invasive Spine Care: Introducing Joseph Spine Institute’s (JSI) New Endoscopic Spine Center of Excellence

Joseph Spine Institute, a leading provider of comprehensive spine care services, is proud to announce the opening of its new Endoscopic Spine Center. Above all, the center is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of spine conditions using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques.

Tampa’s Endoscopic Center of Excellence

The Endoscopic Spine Center, founded by Dr. Samuel Joseph, is the latest addition to Joseph Spine Institute’s range of services and represents a significant advancement in spine care. With endoscopic spine surgery, patients can benefit from smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, faster recovery times, and less postoperative pain than traditional open spine surgery, as a result patient outcomes and financial expenditure is positively affected.   The center isstaffed by the best board-certified spine surgeons who are trained in the latest endoscopic techniques, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality care.

According to Dr. Samuel Joseph, Founder of Joseph Spine Institute, “The opening of our Endoscopic Spine Center represents a significant milestone for our practice. We are proud to be at the forefront of spine care, and we are committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective treatments available.”

Key Benefits of Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Key features and benefits of endoscopic spine surgery include:

  • Minimally Invasive: Endoscopic spine surgery requires smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgeries, resulting in less damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. This often leads to reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times.
  • Precise Visualization: The high-definition camera on the endoscope provides magnified, detailed images of the spine, allowing the surgeon to precisely navigate and perform the necessary procedures with accuracy.
  • Targeted Treatment: Endoscopic spine surgery enables surgeons to target specific areas of the spine while sparing healthy tissue, minimizing the risk of complications and maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Reduced Blood Loss: The minimally invasive nature of endoscopic spine surgery typically results in less blood loss during the procedure, reducing the need for blood transfusions and lowering the risk of complications associated with excessive bleeding.
  • Customized Approach: Endoscopic spine surgery can be tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient, with procedures ranging from simple discectomies to more complex spinal fusions, depending on the underlying spinal condition.
  • Improved Function: Less healing time. Surgeons often do not have to cut through muscles to complete the procedure, leading to less tissue damage, minimal pain and a quicker recovery.

Offering a Wide Range of Endoscopic Spine Procedures

Endoscopic spine surgery, like many minimally invasive spine procedures, is a versatile technique used to treat various spinal disorders and conditions causing back pain or nerve dysfunction.

Determining if you’re a suitable candidate for endoscopic spine surgery depends on factors such as your symptoms, how they affect your daily life, your overall health, and other considerations.

However, due to the benefits of minimally invasive procedures, such as lower blood loss, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery times, endoscopic spine surgery can often be an option for patients who are too ill or frail for traditional open surgery.

For those who are eligible, endoscopic spine surgery can potentially treat conditions including:

  • Degenerative Disc Disease: This condition involves the gradual deterioration and stiffening of spinal discs with age, exacerbated by factors like tissue damage, repetitive strain, obesity, improper lifting, sports injuries, and accidents.
  • Disc Herniation: Also known as a herniated disc, this occurs when a damaged disc bulges and presses on the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing pain. It can be treated with an endoscopic discectomy, where the protruding portion or the entire disc is removed and possibly replaced with an artificial disc.
  • Spinal Stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal due to bone spurs, which irritate the spinal cord or nerves. Lumbar spinal stenosis affects the lower back, while cervical spinal stenosis affects the neck.
  • Spinal Instability: Endoscopic spinal fusion can correct this by using medical hardware to permanently join an unstable vertebra to a stable one.
  • Spinal Fractures
  • Congenital Spinal Deformities
  • Traumatic Injuries: This includes injuries to the vertebrae, soft tissues, or spinal column.
  • Spinal Tumors

Endoscopic spine surgery offers a less invasive alternative with numerous benefits for suitable patient

The opening of the Endoscopic Spine Center is a reflection of Joseph Spine Institute’s commitment to innovation and excellence in spine care. The center will provide patients with the most advanced endoscopic techniques, ensuring that they receive the best possible care for their spine conditions.

State-of-the-Art Medical Technology and a Highly Skilled Surgeon Bring Tampa Bay a Revolutionary Approach to Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

18 Oct 2019 Mazor X, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Outpatient, Revision Surgery, Scoliosis, Spine News

Dr. Samuel Joseph, founder of the Joseph Spine Institute (JSI) of Tampa Bay, performs the Tampa Bay area’s first Robotic Endoscopically Assisted Percutaneous Outpatient Spinal Fusion at Memorial Hospital of Tampa. This method allows access to the disk, nerves and bones of the spine.

The areas first combined Endoscopic and Robotic-Guided Spine Surgery patient was discharged within one hour of the procedure, instead of the usual 2 – 4 day hospital stay that is usually required with a standard Spinal Fusion procedure. The patient left with only a few tiny scars, 1 – 2 centimeters in length, in comparison to the large scars patients had to live with in the past.

“Together they (Endoscopic and Robotic technology) compliment each other in the perfect package for revolutionizing how spine surgery is done,” states Dr. Joseph. “I am honored to bring this new procedure, combined technology and innovative products to Tampa Bay. At JSI we are dedicated to partnering with the innovators of spine medicine in order to offer our patients the most advanced spine care.”

Partnering with the innovators of cutting edge spine medicine allows JSI to provide our patients with the advantages of next-generation technology that enhances safety and allows for better patient outcomes. Combining these innovative technologies reduces procedure and recovery time as well as offer the following benefits:

  • Pre-operative planning and improved surgical accuracy
  • Smaller incision and less risk of infection
  • Decreased intra-operative radiation
  • Less anesthesia and shorter hospital stay
  • Improved patient safety
  • Reduced post-operative pain and recovery time 

Dr. Joseph utilized the joimax® endoscope which allows direct visualization of the compressed nerve with the ability to remove the pressure and disk through a 1 cm incision. The endoscope (high-resolution camera) provides optimal visualization of the surgical field in HD quality. The endoscope allows the operation to be performed with minimal trauma to any surrounding tissue, as muscles, ligaments and tendons need not be disrupted.

After disc removal and decompression Dr. Joseph utilized Mazor X robot guided technology for improved accuracy, less soft tissue damage and less radiation exposure for the patient.

The percutaneous approach is made possible by this technology as well as special expandable cage by Spinal Elements and the most low profile screws available by MiRus. MiRus has developed MoRe®, a proprietary molybdenum rhenium superalloy for medical implants, to provide an unprecedented combination of strength, ductility, durability, and biological safety that is unmatched by current materials.

New Technologies and Outpatient Spine Care Make High-Quality Spine Procedures More Cost Efficient

21 Mar 2019 Mazor X, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Outpatient, Revision Surgery, Scoliosis, Spine News

The increased usage of new (often minimally invasive) techniques have allowed existing and new procedures to be performed safely and effectively with outpatients procedures at a much lower cost. Minimally invasive procedures, as opposed to open procedures, mean patients are no longer required to stay overnight in hospitals.

There are a number of ways outpatient surgeries and procedures are helpful for patients as well as medical professionals. Outpatient surgeries are in many ways easier for patients, and there are also inherent benefits for doctors and care centers.  

Convenience of Outpatient Spine Procedures

The most obvious benefit associated with outpatient surgery and other procedures is that it can be easier and more comfortable for patients and their families. A hospital can be an intimidating setting for some individuals, where as undergoing a small operation at a physician’s office or other facility may be preferable. This also is beneficial because it allows patients to recover at their own home, which  can be beneficial to children who worry about their parents away from home.

The physicians will also have much more flexibility in scheduling an outpatient procedure performed in the office or a surgery center.

Cost Savings For Spine Patients

Another major consideration for these types of operations is the enormous potential for cutting costs. Patients do not face room charges at a hospital, and some insurance companies have more lenient coverage for outpatient procedures. According to Becker’s Healthcare, there are tremendous savings associated with outpatient surgeries when compared to the same procedure in a standard facility. For example, patients who underwent outpatient lumbar spine surgery in 2014 saved $320 on average, while across the board these operations cost $8,475 less than they would have at a regular OR.

What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

19 Jul 2017 Back Pain, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Revision Surgery, Scoliosis, Spine News

Dr. Samuel Joseph, spine surgeon located in Tampa, FL, explains the benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery. He also reviews complex spine conditions that can now be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery due to advances in technology.

There have been a lot of new advances in medicine and technology that allow us to do minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISS).

Traditionally open procedures typically require a larger incision, as it is necessary to cut through muscles and pull them out of the way in order to reach the spine. This causes patients a large amount of pain, lots of muscle dissection, blood loss, increases hospitalization, the risk of infection and lengthens recovery time.

Minimally invasive surgery involves a smaller incision, with minimal muscle dissection, and less pain resulting in a faster recovery time, minimal scarring, reduced blood loss and reduced risk of infection. There is rarely a need for a blood transfusion, often there is less need for narcotic pain medications, and usually, no hospital stay.

Let’s review the anatomy of the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine consists of five lumbar vertebrae labeled one through five. So this would be L1, L2, L3. They are separated from one another by these discs, these discs are the spongy portion of the spine that allow the spine to flex and extend. In the back of the spine, there is a tube, the tube consists of fluid and nerves. The nerves exit at various places in the spine. If a disc herniates or if you have a bone spur that can cause pressure on one of these nerves which can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and dysfunction for the patient.

Conditions that may benefit from minimally invasive surgery include spinal stenosis, Bulging or herniated discs, bone spurs, sciatica, leg pain and arm pain.

As we continue to focus on emerging technology and state of the art equipment we have vastly expanded the breadth of spine conditions that can be addressed using minimally invasive techniques.

Today new advances in spine care enable us to undertake a full range of spine disorders, including many complex procedures – such as revision surgeries, multiple-level disease, fusions, compressions, and deformities – all using minimally invasive techniques.
