• MAS PLIF Perioperative Outcomes

A MAS PLIF original thought leader, Dr. Khanna has an extensive training in minimally invasive spine surgery and strongly believes in the ability of MAS PLIF to not only provide stability to spinal constructs, but significantly help patients by decreasing pain, recovery time, blood loss, and by restoring alignment. The results from his recent clinical research on MAS PLIF in an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) includes patients returning home after only two hours post surgery.1,2

Dr. Khanna is a fantastic resource for other surgeons that are interested in the MAS PLIF procedure.
