A Move to Minimal: Improving Recovery with Less Invasive Spine Surgery

Dr. Andrew Chan, Co-Director of Minimally Invasive Scoliosis Surgery at Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian, saw the future of spinal surgery eight years ago when he joined a colleague in a minimally invasive lumbar procedure. Since then, Dr. Chan has dedicated himself to performing and teaching minimally invasive spinal surgeries, improving the quality of life of his patients and educating his residents in how to perform these procedures that minimize postoperative pain.
