At Princeton Neurological Surgery, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced spinal procedures designed to relieve nerve compression, restore spinal stability, and preserve neurologic function. Every patient is carefully evaluated to determine whether conservative care, minimally invasive surgery, or complex reconstruction is most appropriate.
Led by board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Edward H. Scheid, Jr., who has performed more than 6,000 spine surgeries, our practice provides personalized surgical planning for patients in Hamilton and Jersey City, NJ. Below is an overview of the spine procedures we offer.
Lumbar Fusion Procedures
ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
A fusion procedure performed through the front of the abdomen to remove a damaged disc and stabilize the lumbar spine with a bone graft and instrumentation.
PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
A fusion performed through the back of the spine, allowing direct decompression of nerve roots and placement of graft material between vertebraee.
XLIF (Extreme Lateral Interbody Fusion)
A lateral approach to lumbar fusion that accesses the spine through the patient’s flank, minimizing disruption to back muscles.
TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion)
A posterior fusion technique that accesses the spine through the foramen to remove a damaged disc and stabilize the vertebraee.
Minimally-Invasive TLIF
A muscle-sparing version of TLIF performed through smaller incisions using tubular retractors and imaging guidance to reduce tissue disruption.
Cervical Spine Procedures
Anterior Cervical Corpectomy
Removal of a vertebrael body and adjacent discs in the cervical spine to relieve spinal cord compression and restore stability.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy
A procedure performed through the front of the neck to remove a herniated or degenerative disc compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy
A posterior neck procedure that enlarges the foramen to relieve pressure on compressed cervical nerve roots without fusion in select cases.
Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery Revision
A corrective procedure performed when a prior artificial disc replacement has failed or caused persistent symptoms.
Decompression Procedures
Laminectomy
Removal of the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Laminectomy With Fusion
A decompression procedure combined with spinal fusion to stabilize the spine when instability is present or expected.
Lumbar Disc Microsurgery (Microdiscectomy)
A minimally invasive procedure that removes part of a herniated disc to relieve nerve compression in the lower back.
Lumbar Microdecompression
A muscle-sparing decompression surgery that removes bone and ligament tissue compressing spinal nerves.
Stabilization And Instrumentation
Pedicle Screw Fixation
Placement of screws and rods into the vertebraee to provide immediate spinal stability during fusion procedures.
Spinal Fusion Surgery
A procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebraee together using bone graft material and instrumentation to eliminate painful motion.
Advanced Surgical Support And Techniques
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
A surgical approach that uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to reduce muscle disruption and recovery time.
Intraoperative Monitoring (IOM)
Real-time nerve monitoring technology used during spine surgery to continuously assess spinal cord and nerve function.
Complex And Corrective Procedures
Revision Spinal Surgery
Surgery performed to correct persistent symptoms or structural problems following a prior spinal operation.
