Philosophy:
At Brain + Spine we have a team approach to delivering care because professionals in several different fields will have a role in helping you. Medical research ? and our own clinical experience ? has shown that most problems related to the brain and spine can be treated without surgery and without a surgeon. We want to make sure treatment options other than surgery have been fully considered before taking that step. We also believe that when surgery is necessary, it should not be needlessly delayed, especially if you are in pain.
We do everything we can to get you to the right physician the first time we meet you. Most people don't need to consider surgery, or may not need to consider it yet. They will see Shelley Freimark, MD, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. Other people do need to be considered for surgery now, and they will see one of our neurosurgeions ? either David W. Lowry, MD, or M. Adam Kremer, MD. We do our best to get you in to see the best physician for your problem, but if during your visit we realize you need to see someone else instead, we'll expedite that appointment for you.
With the collaboration of Physiatry and Neurosurgery at the Brain + Spine Center, the patient receives a true multidisciplinary approach to the care of their spine pain or injuries. This allows the patient to receive all appropriate treatments, whether non-surgical or surgical, without delays or lengthy waits for appointments with different doctor's offices.

International Classification:
A61B 1/32
US Classification:
600210, 600231
Abstract:
A retractor system and associated method are provided to manage soft tissue around a spinal surgical field. The system includes a hollow retractor with proximal and a distal apertures and an internal circumferential surface connecting the apertures, the surface and the apertures defining an operating volume and the area of the distal aperture defining an operating field. The system may further include other elements such as a handling tool to facilitate placement and removal of the retractor, a bone cutting tool, a trajectory control sleeve to guide the bone cutting tool, and/or an implantable bone plate upon which to position the retractor. A method for spinal surgery, particular from an anterior approach, includes positioning the retractor at a surgical site, and performing a medical procedure through the operating volume provided by the retractor.

Methods And Systems For Repairing An Intervertebral Disc Using A Transcorporal Approach
US Patent:
2012020, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Mar 23, 2012
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
TransCorp, Inc. - Ada MI
International Classification:
A61F 2/44
US Classification:
623 1716
Abstract:
The invention includes a system and methods for performing surgery on a spinal disc. The system includes an implantable bone plate with an access port to accommodate a bone cutting device, a spinal repair device insertable through the access port of the bone plate configured to occupy a surgically-formed vertebral channel from an anterior surface of the host vertebral body to a site central to an end plate of the host vertebral body, a trajectory control sleeve engageable to the bone plate to direct the trajectory of a cutting device, and a cutting device engageable within the trajectory control sleeve. Methods are directed to forming a vertebral channel and restoring the vertebral body and disc with devices that both repair the bone and the disc.

International Classification:
A61B 17/66, A61F 2/44
US Classification:
606282, 623 1711
Abstract:
A system for performing surgical repair of the spine includes a distractor and a permanently implanted bone plate system. A surgical repair methodology is also disclosed that employs an implanted bone plate system with a substantially void internal volume which is attached to adjacent vertebrae subsequent to the distraction and adjustment of curvature of the vertebrae and prior to the excision of disc and/or end plate tissue through the bone plate. The device further facilitates the subsequent delivery of an interbody repair device for the purpose of either fusion or dynamic stabilization, such as by disc arthroplasty. The plate may be permanently implanted, such as when a fusion between the attached vertebral bodies is desired, but it need not be permanently implanted

Assignee:
TransCorp, Inc. - Ada MI
International Classification:
A61F 2/46
US Classification:
606 86R
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for making an access channel through a vertebral body to access a site of neural compression, decompressing it, and repairing the channel to restore vertebral integrity. System elements include an implantable vertebral plate, a guidance device for orienting bone cutting tools and controlling the path of a cutting tool, a bone cutting tool to make a channel in the vertebral body, a tool for opening or partially-resecting the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine, a tool for retrieving a herniated disc, an implantable device with osteogenic material to fill the access channel, and a retention device that lockably-engages the bone plate to retain it in position after insertion. System elements may be included in a surgery to decompress an individual nerve root, the spinal cord, or the cauda equina when compressed, for example, by any of a herniated disc, an osteophyte, a thickened ligament arising from degenerative changes within the spine, a hematoma, or a tumor.
