The Operating System

Continuous Improvement. No compromise.

Elimination of Waste
Surgical trauma is waste. By using minimally invasive tubes instead of large incisions, we reduce blood loss from 500cc to 50cc. Faster recovery is the only metric.

The Real Place
Innovation happens in the Operating Room, not the boardroom. I invent solutions based on the inefficiencies I face every day in surgery.

The Human Touch
Automation requires empathy. We embrace robotics and AI, but only when they serve the ultimate goal: a safer, more human patient experience.

The Architecture of Preservation.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is not just a technique. It is a philosophy of respect for the human anatomy.
Structural Disruption
THE PROBLEM
The Creation of 'Dead Space'.
Traditional dissection strips muscles off the bone, leaving behind a hollow void ('dead space') that fills with fluid. This is the primary breeding ground for postoperative infection.
The Circle of Five.
Surgery is the last resort. We exhaust every non-operative avenue—collaborating with sports medicine and physiatry—before we ever pick up a scalpel.
The 2026 Vision:
Excel Health.
The Goal
Moving complex care from Hospitals → Outpatient Centers.
The Rationale
Boutique-level experience. Lower infection risk. Higher efficiency. This is the future of spine care.
