Neurological Procedures in Florida

Thanks to significant advancements in medical technology and surgical techniques, more neurological procedures are being performed in outpatient surgical centers. For people with significant back problems, they may need spine surgery in order to treat their condition.

Most back problems can be addressed with non-surgical forms of treatment. That being said, if you have been attempting to alleviate your symptoms through physical therapy and medication without success, we do recommend that you schedule a surgical consultation with us. We currently have 6 outpatient surgery centers in Florida.

Benefits of Going to an Outpatient Surgery Center

Our outpatient surgery centers have been designed specifically to get our patients back on their feet and back to better health as fast as possible. Our surgeons specialize in procedures that are efficient and result shorter recovery times. Many patients don’t even have to stay overnight. We understand that our patients want to be able to recover at home and they save a lot of money not having to stay overnight in a hospital.

Patients also find the whole experience that much more calming at an outpatient surgery center. Unlike a hospital, we offer convenient parking and things are going to feel a lot less overwhelming when you walk in the door.

Minimally Invasive vs Open Neurosurgery

For spine surgery in particular, traditionally neurosurgeons would perform an open surgery. This approach involves a big incision, more risk to the surrounding muscle of the spine and longer recovery times. Fortunately, modern medical technology has made it so that more spine conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgery.

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has several benefits compared to open surgery. These include:

  • Small incisions = small scar
  • Less risk to the muscles surrounding the spine
  • Shorter operating time
  • Shorter recovery time

Orthopedic Procedures in Florida

Again thanks to advancements in modern medical technology, we are able to perform a significant number of orthopedic procedures at our outpatient surgery centers in Florida. Not long ago, these surgeries could only be performed in a traditional hospital setting. Our team of orthopedic surgeons and treatment specialists use the latest anesthesia techniques, advanced pain management and joint replacement technology.

What Are The Benefits of Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery is performed with the primary goals of relieving pain in that joint and restoring lost mobility. Studies have shown that the average hip or knee replacement will last for at least 2 decades, giving patients plenty of time to enjoy their favorite activities pain free.

Going to an outpatient surgery center for joint replacement surgery offers some key benefits compared to going to a hospital. For patients that come to Florida Surgery Consultants for joint replacement surgery, we offer a comprehensive experience. From initial consultation and evaluation to rehabilitation. Please note that certain factors like age, overall health and weight can prohibit someone from qualifying for this type of procedure at an outpatient surgery center. Please call us at # if you have any questions.

Interventional Procedures in Florida

Chronic back pain is an all too common problem plaguing Floridians. Unfortunately, this has also led more people to try and ignore the pain or dull the pain in unhealthy ways. If you have been suffering from chronic back pain symptoms for over a month, you should consider scheduling a consultation with our spine experts.

While we are known for our spine surgery procedures, we do offer a range of interventional procedures for the neck, mid and lower back. If more conservative treatments have not been effective, then these interventional procedures are worth considering. They are often more effective at treating the sources of pain in the spine that traditional back pain treatments.
