At the UPMC Department of Neurosurgery, our spine specialists use minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art technologies to treat a wide range of spine conditions.

Computer-assisted technology and highly specialized tools and instruments are used to assist the surgeons with visualization and control.
Advantages of minimally invasive spine surgery at UPMC include:
UPMC’s minimally invasive spine surgery specialists are part of a multidisciplinary team that evaluates each patient to help determine the most appropriate treatment.
Surgery is recommended only after more conservative medical approaches have failed to provide results for patients seeking pain relief, increased mobility, and improved quality of life.
