Sept. 16th: 2 - Incision Mini Hip
Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, MD, presents a minimally invasive hip replacement surgery surgery on Thursday, September 16, 2004, at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 UTC). The minimally invasive hip replacement involves an "image-intensifier," a specialized X-ray machine that allows the surgeon to assess the precise position of the artificial hip joint in the body. Through the manipulation of specialized instruments, surgeons can position the implant based on what they view in the X-ray. The surgeon can then assemble the patient's new hip through two incisions of only two inches each - as compared to a 12-inch incision with traditional hip replacement surgery.

By Alex Fraser October 7, 2003 - Innovative Spinal Surgery to be Featured in Internet Broadcast from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center
A new minimally invasive approach to spinal surgery will be broadcast live on the internet at 5 pm EDT on Tuesday, October 7 from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. The surgery, a posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), will employ a new tubular retraction method that requires only a small skin incision and "splits" the muscle covering the spine to create a small portal through which surgeons can repair the spinal damage.
