Arthrex faculty surgeon Paul Houle, MD (Hyannis, MA), has spent more than two decades performing minimally invasive spine procedures. Now, he’s taking it a step further with endoscopic spine surgery using the Arthrex working channel endoscope and 4K Synergy Vision™ imaging system.
Dr. Houle explained to Cape Cod Healthcare how he used this ultra-minimally invasive approach to relieve one patient’s debilitating leg pain and why he’s now helping to train surgeons across the U.S. to do the same.
“I continue to do traditional general neurosurgeries, but I find I do fewer big spine surgeries because I can take care of many spinal conditions that used to require traditional big open spinal surgery by doing very small endoscopic surgery,” he shared.
