TAMPA, Fla., March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Bill Horne, CEO of
Laser Spine Institute (http://www.laserspineinstitute.com),
the leader in endoscopic spine surgery, has announced that John A.
Polikandriotis Ph.D. MBA, senior director of strategic initiatives,
Dr. Michael W. Perry, medical director, and Dr. Vernon R. Morris,
spine surgeon, have been published in the April edition of the
Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine. The peer reviewed
study, titled “Surgery without Instrumentation for
Spondylolisthesis-Related Stenosis,” details an experience with a
patient who was recommended for a fusion by multiple surgeons, yet
was hesitant to have major open surgery. The patient, who was
suffering from back pain, leg pain, weakness and numbness, opted
for Laser Spine Institute’s minimally invasive endoscopic procedure
in an outpatient setting, resulting in complete resolution of pain
and a quick return to normal physical activity. The case was
studied over the preoperative and 16-month postoperative
period
