FREE MRI review
Price:
At NU-Spine: The Minimally Invasive Spine Institute, we offer a FREE MRI review as part of our commitment to patient care.
Spine surgery is a major operation, and you should be as informed as possible when making the decision on whether or not to have it. Surgeons often take different approaches or focus on certain specialties, and you should play an active role in choosing the best option for you.
It’s essential for you to know your options and fully understand the procedure, which is why patients can benefit from getting a second opinion.
After you submit your MRI, we’ll contact you to review your results, get a better understanding of your pain, and answer any questions you may have. From there, Dr. Skovrlj is able to evaluate your condition and determine if you’re a good candidate for our minimally invasive treatment.

Corpectomy Surgery
Price:
To relief pressure on your spinal cord, the best spinal doctors may recommend a corpectomy. The term comes from the Latin words corpus, meaning body, and ectomy, meaning removal. A corpectomy is a surgical procedure to remove vertebral bone and intervertebral disc material. It relieves pressure on your spinal cord and spinal nerves.
Your spinal nerves are obviously very sensitive, which is why they’re protected within your spinal column. Any pressure on your spinal cord can result in:
Pain and stiffness in your neck, back or lower back
Numbness, cramping or weakness in your arms, hands or legs
Sciatica, characterized by a searing pain that spreads down to your buttocks and leg
Weakness in a foot, enough to cause a limp
Loss of sensation in your feet
Poor hand coordination
Loss of bowel or bladder control, in severe cases
Problems walking or standing due to extreme pain in your legs
All these symptoms of spinal compression risk curtailing your lifestyle. They bother you when you try to work, socialize or do any other daily activities. Without treatment, your life will change, and not for the better.
Early diagnosis helps. Dr. Branko Skovrlj, a neurosurgeon at NU-Spine: The Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Institute in Edison, New Jersey, is an expert in spine diseases and other medical conditions. He’s highly experienced in minimally invasive spinal procedures, such as corpectomy, discectomy, laminectomy and spinal reconstruction surgery.

Discectomy
Price:
A discectomy is a surgical procedure to excise all or part of an intervertebral disc. A disc is a shock absorber of the spine, each one sitting between two vertebrae to enable flexibility while minimizing friction between the bones. When a disc is damaged, not only do you lose its benefits, but its soft contents can spill into areas occupied by sensitive nerves, which then cause pain. There are three types of discectomies:
An anterior surgical approach, which is from the front
A lateral discectomy, which is from the side
A posterolateral approach, which is from behind and to the side
The best surgeon in the Northeast decides which option to take based on your specific case and where your herniated disc is. At NU-Spine, The Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Institute in Edison, NJ, Dr. Branko Skovrlj uses cutting-edge technology and advanced medical practices to provide effective treatment. He is skilled in doing discectomies and only performs surgery when it is absolutely necessary.
