LATEST ADVANCES

Los Robles Regional Medical Center has been approved to perform tumor removal procedure using Gleolan. This newly-FDA approved, optical imaging agent turns glioma brain tumors bright pink to increase their visibility under a special blue light. Gleolan helps the surgeon more easily identify the full tumor helping ensure more complete tumor removal and a better result for the patient.

Minimally-invasive brain surgery

The NICO BrainPath is a part of a systems approach that is the world’s first and only trans-sulcal system for standardized subcortical surgery.

This option offers lesser brain retraction and a provides a safer approach for removal of selective brain tumors / hemorrhages.

What is Disc Replacement?

Total disc replacement (TDR) may be a solution for some patients with degenerative disc disease as an alternative to spinal fusion. Early research into artificial disc replacement began in the 1960s because of the complications sometimes caused by spinal fusion.

During disc replacement surgery, the doctor removes your damaged disc and replaces it with an artificial disc. The goals of total disc replacement surgery are to maintain spinal balance and motion, reduce adjacent level degeneration and allow patients to get back to activities of daily living.

Why interlaminar stabilization?

The coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device is a single-piece titanium implant that goes in the back of your spine to treat moderate to severe spinal stenosis. It’s amazingly simple, very strong, and flexible enough to support your spine without having to fuse your bones together.

coflex is the FIRST AND ONLY posterior lumbar motion preservation solution with Level I evidence from two prospective randomized studies against two treatment options (decompression alone and decompression with fusion) across two countries.
