Dr. Graham is trained and specializes in the XLIF® procedure, a minimally invasive approach to accessing the spine. This procedure allows lateral access to the spine without having to move back muscles, bones or nerves and allows for more complete disc removal and spinal reconstruction when compared to the traditional procedure. This results in quicker patient recovery, shorter hospital stays and excellent patient outcomes. The XLIF procedure includes the use of NVJJB, a technologically advanced nerve monitoring system. NVJJB helps make spine surgery safe, reliable and reproducible, increasing patient safety by putting control back in the hands of the surgeon. Dr. Graham believes that this surgery, along with all other surgeries, should only be performed after the patient has undergone all of the conservative treatments with no success.
