Microsurgical: To remove the damaged portion of the disc, the surgeon use a microscope that is inserted through the small incision that is usually less than an inch over the spinal canal.
Percutaneous Stitches: A small incision is made to remove the disc portion using an endoscopic surgery at the back of the knee.

Spinal Decompression: Using a minimally invasive key-hole approach, relief is provided from compressed nerves by decompressing it.
Vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty: Cement is injected through a needle into the vertebrae to provide relief to the patient from the chronic pain and other problems associated with compression fractures of the vertebrae.
