Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Disc Replacement

Total disc replacement offers an alternative to fusion by removing a damaged lumbar or cervical disc and inserting a prosthesis that preserves motion. Dr. Stieber's precision technique in New Jersey maintains spinal flexibility, reduces adjacent segment stress, and delivers durable pain relief for eligible candidates.

Robotic Assisted Surgery

The ExcelsiusGPS robotic system guides Dr. Stieber's instruments with sub‑millimeter accuracy. New Jersey patients benefit from fewer X‑rays, shorter operative times, and optimal implant positioning. This technology enhances safety, reduces radiation exposure, and contributes to faster recoveries and improved surgical precision.

Microdiscectomy

A microdiscectomy removes herniated disc fragments through a tiny incision, relieving nerve compression and pain. Dr. Stieber employs high‑definition microscopy and real‑time imaging to target only the diseased tissue, preserving healthy anatomy. This outpatient procedure often results in immediate symptom relief and swift return to activity.

Microdecompression

Designed for spinal stenosis and nerve root impingement, microdecompression uses specialized instruments to remove bone spurs or ligament overgrowth through a small opening. Dr. Stieber's technique in New Jersey minimizes muscle disruption, decreases blood loss, and speeds rehabilitation while providing lasting relief from neurogenic claudication.

Microdecompression

"My goal is to do the least surgery necessary to give you a lasting, successful outcome. If I can't picture you coming 
back happy, I won’t do the surgery."

—Dr. Jonathan Stieber
