At Start to Finish Spine Care, experienced Spine Surgeon, Dr. David McKalip is rapidly available to Dr. Atalla who can consult with him if there is a concern that a surgical visit is needed quickly. During surgery, microscopic-size incisions are made to make a small tunnel to the spine and allow the pressure on the nerve to be relieved. Simple cases can be done in 45 minutes and require a brief stay in the hospital with discharge the same day. More complex cases may require more time and a longer stay.
