Long Island Spine Specialists Offer New Surgery Techniques

    GARDEN CITY, NY, May 25, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Challenging medical conditions require advanced solutions. At Reconstructive Spine Surgery (www.reconstructivespinesurgery.com), the Long Island spine specialists have added new techniques to improve outcomes for their patients.

"Spinal reconstruction is a very specialized field," explains Dr. Marc Agulnick, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. "We must constantly grow if we want to do the most for our spine surgery patients in New York, thus our commitment to education, research, and innovation."

Dr. Agulnick is one of three exceptional surgeons at Reconstructive Spine Surgery. Joining him is Dr. Benjamin Cohen, a board-certified neurosurgeon, and Dr. Thomas Davenport, a plastic surgeon. The team approach of these surgeons allows them to provide comprehensive treatment and successful results.

"One of the biggest movements in spine surgery right now - in any area of surgery, in fact - is the push for less invasive techniques," says Dr. Cohen. "In response, we've added minimally invasive procedures. We've seen a very positive response from our patients." The surgeons at Reconstructive Spine Surgery believe that improving care doesn't always mean trying an entirely new procedure. Instead, it can also be achieved by refining techniques for established procedures.

In addition, Dr. Agulnick, Dr. Cohen, and Dr. Davenport are incorporating new techniques for tumor resection, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, reconstruction after failed spine surgery, and New York spinal cord injury patients."

"Whether it's spinal tumors, spinal infection, scoliosis, or unsatisfactory results from prior surgery, there's always room to improve treatment for these extremely debilitating conditions," says Dr. Davenport. "Physicians refer patients to us and patients choose us because we're leaders in our specialty. We've earned our reputation by incorporating the latest advances and consistently providing superior care."

Reconstructive Spine Surgery (www.reconstructivespinesurgery.com) has a team of three spinal surgeons who use their specialized skills and experience to provide high quality care for patients suffering from complex spinal and back conditions. As highly-experienced surgeons, Dr. Marc Agulnick, an orthopaedic surgeon who graduated from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr. Benjamin R. Cohen, a neurosurgeon who graduated from Chicago Medical School and Dr. Thomas Davenport, a plastic surgeon who graduated from Yale University treat a wide range of conditions including spinal infection, trauma, tumors, deformity, and damage from failed spinal surgery.
