Endoscopic Surgery
Selective Endoscopic Disectomy™ (SED™) is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated, protruded, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain.
The endoscope allows the surgeon to use a "keyhole" incision to access the herniated disc. Muscle and tissue are dialted rather than being cut when accessing the disc.
Less tissue destruction • Less pain • Quicker recovery times

Tips for Caregivers
By Nima Salari, MD
When caring for a patient with neck or back pain, the caretaker faces emotional and at times physical challenges. It is difficult to watch a loved one experience pain symptoms. Many times being unsure of how to provide help can generate further anxiety about the situation. Know that as a caregiver you are not alone. In fact, statistically a broad majority of long term care for patients in the United States is provided by their family members. Know that you are appreciated and here are some tips to perhaps make the journey a bit lighter.

At the age of 78, the legendary Dr. Anthony Yeung, DISC Orthopedic Spine Surgeon and the Executive Director for the International Intradiscal Therapy Society (IITS), announced his retirement from the operating room.
“I became very comfortable that my legacy will be carried on by my son, Chris Yeung, and his team of fellowship trained spine surgeons. The DISC team put together by Chris Yeung provides a wide spectrum of spine surgery options based on what is best for their patients using training in open MIS spine surgery and endoscopic spine surgery. It was time to finally officially retire.
I passed the ceremonial “crown” to Chris. I feel that we have formed the “dream team” of MIS spine surgery, not just of surgeons but a very dedicated staff.”

Each year, hundreds of thousands of adults are diagnosed with Cervical Disc Degeneration, an upper spine condition that can cause pain and numbness in the neck, shoulders, arms, and even hands. DISC is one of 12 sites in the US, the only one in Arizona, where patients have access to the M6-C Artificial Disc: FDA IDE Pivotal Study to help combat this painful condition.
