Minimally Invasive Procedures

Anders Cohen Treats Spinal Conditions Using Minimally Invasive Procedures

Anders Cohen is one of the most in-demand surgeons in the New York area. Although trained in traditional surgical approaches, Dr. Cohen is able to treat patients without subjecting them to excessively invasive surgery. He is adept at using Minimal Access Spinal Technologies (MAST). In fact, Dr. Cohen is the only spine surgeon in the New York State area who treats degenerative (adult) scoliosis and spondylolisthesis with minimal invasive decompression and correction.

Scoliosis, a condition where the spine develops one or more abnormal, side-to-side curvatures, is most often diagnosed in childhood or during the early teenage years. However, the condition also develops in adults. This condition may affect the body’s overall balance and lead to other physical problems.

Spondylolisthesis, on the other hand, is a condition where one vertebra slips forward onto the adjacent vertebra. This condition causes pain on the back and the leg, as well as other symptoms.

Patients suffering from both of these patients can seek world-class treatment from Anders Cohen.

A traditional open surgery procedure to treat these conditions can be time consuming, expensive and, depending on the condition of the patient, the level of risk may vary. By using minimally invasive procedures, Dr. Cohen is able to treat these conditions using surgical procedures that are less risky, take less time to perform, and easier to recover from.

Anders Cohen combines his dedication to his practice and expertise in new technologies to treat his patients. But beyond this, his care and consideration have also earned him the most praise among patients. People who suffer from spinal problems need to understand the different options they can take to treat their condition. Dr. Cohen takes the time to explain to patients the causes of their condition as well as their options for treatment. He explains the different procedures in great detail to help patients understand and make the best choice of treatment.
