Join Dean & St. Mary's Spine Center physicians who will present the procedure and discuss
Join Dean & St. Mary's Spine Center physicians who will present the procedure and discuss how they minimize patients' pain and speed recovery. Performing the surgery and providing expert narration, insight and answers to viewer questions will be: neurosurgeons Dr. Richard L. Carter, Dr. Alan Lozier, Dr. Jeff Masciopinto and Dr. Todd Trier and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Keith Kahle.
Spinal microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgery, done to decompress a painful nerve root by removing disk fragments from a herniated disk, usually in the lower back (lumbar area). Unlike lumbar spine surgery that requires an incision 2 to 5 inches long, microdiscectomy is performed with a microscope through a very small incision (about 1 to 1 ½ inches).
The surgery will be webcast for one hour from St. Mary's Hospital's brand new, state-of-the-art operating rooms. The Dean & St. Mary's Spine Center performs more spine surgeries than any other program in southcentral Wisconsin, with an interdisciplinary team of five surgeons, specializing in neurosurgery and orthopedics.

Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will host a webcast featuring a minimally invasive en
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital will host a webcast featuring a minimally invasive endovascular procedure used to repair an aortic aneurysm. Joseph Lombardi, MD, Associate Professor of Surgery at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and Director of the Jefferson Aortic Center, will perform the procedure; Robert Larson, MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery will narrate.
This minimally invasive procedure stops and decreases swelling of the aortic aneurysm to prevent rupture. Through small incisions in the groin area on both of the patient's legs, the vascular surgeon accesses the femoral arteries to deliver a stent-graft into the aneurysm. The surgeon repairs the aneurysm from the inside and places the stent-graft to divert blood flow. This prevents the aneurysm from growing further and frequently causes it to shrink. In most cases, patients can be discharged from the hospital the next day, as opposed to five-to-seven days of recovery time in the hospital after open aortic aneurysm repair, and resume normal activities much sooner.

The procedure, called XLIF® (eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion), involves a lateral, or sid
The procedure, called XLIF® (eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion), involves a lateral, or side, approach to the patient, rather than from the back or front. This approach provides direct access to the disc space, allowing for complete disc removal and implant insertion.
An estimated 10 million adults suffer from chronic back and leg pain, which often limits their activities. It is estimated that more than one million patients undergo spine surgery each year in the U.S. Until recently, adults with back or leg pain have undergone traditional, or 'open', spine surgery, requiring large incisions, significant recovery time and a delay in return to normal activity.
Juan Uribe, M.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Neurosurgery, University of South Florida College of Medicine will perform the procedure using NeuroVision®, a technologically advanced EMG system. This technology allows surgeons to have accurate, reproducible, real-time feedback about nerve health and function, reducing the incidence of nerve injury during surgery. Fernando Vale, M.D., Associate Professor, University of South Florida College of Medicine, and Vice Chief of the Neurosciences Department at Tampa General Hospital will provide commentary and answer email questions from viewers during the procedure.

Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center and OR-Live will conduct a live web
Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center and OR-Live will conduct a live webcast of a pediatric Laparoscopic Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (LAPEG) procedure
Floating Hospital's Chief of Pediatric Surgery Brian Gilchrist, MD and LAPEG creator and Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology Alex Flores, MD will perform the procedure along with other members of Floating Hospital's specially trained pediatric surgical team. Peter Ngo, MD, Director of Pediatric Endoscopy at Floating Hospital, will moderate the webcast.
The event will feature live Internet transmission of the procedure, as well as interviews with Drs. Gilchrist, Ngo, and pediatric surgeon Carl-Christian Jackson, MD.
Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy, or "PEG," is the surgical placement of a feeding tube in a patient who is not getting proper nutrition, usually due to metabolic or digestive disorders. The LAPEG procedure was developed by Dr. Flores, and is an enormously innovative advancement on the standard PEG procedure. With the LAPEG operation, the surgeon/gastroenterologist team use laparoscopic surgical techniques to visually confirm correct placement of the feeding tube even in very young infants, avoiding many of the risks of complications posed by conventional PEG surgery.

Orthopedic surgeon Eric Smith, MD, Director of Arthroplasty at Tufts Medical Center, will perform the procedure, heading up a highly trained orthopedic surgical OR team. Elizabeth Matzkin, MD, of the Medical Center's Sports Medicine program in the Department of Orthopedics, will moderate the Webcast program.
Patello Femoral Replacement is performed to treat osteoarthritis affecting the back of the kneecap. Patients who are candidates for this procedure usually experience pain when crouching, going up or down stairs, walking up slopes and getting up from low chairs. If a patient's joint is mostly free from arthritis or displays minimal symptoms, Patello Femoral Replacement can provide pain relief and improve mobility. The procedure replaces the back of the patella and the front of the femur (thigh bone), and still allows patients to undergo total knee replacement at a later date if necessary.
The Webcast will feature live Internet transmission of the procedure, as well as interviews with Department Chair Charles Cassidy, MD, and other members of Tufts Medical Center's Orthopedics and Physical Therapy staff.
The Department of Orthopedics at Tufts Medical Center offers expert comprehensive care in all areas of orthopedics, including hard-to-find specialties like women's sports injury, state-of-the-art arthroscopic surgery to treat athletic injuries, computer-navigated joint surgery, and an unbeatable expertise in treating upper extremity trauma. This department's mission is to provide the highest level of patient-driven care in an approachable, friendly environment.

Dr. Joseph McGinn, an internationally renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, is the Medical Director of the Heart Institute of Staten Island and the Director of Cardiac Surgery at Staten Island University Hospital. Dr. McGinn is spearheading the way to a new era in CABG surgery
Dr. McGinn will conduct a live surgical web cast of a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery (MICS CABG). A leading authority and pioneer in MICS CABG, Dr. McGinn has performed more than 350 MICS CABG procedures, averaging 3-4 cases per week.
With four cardiac surgeons, completing more than 4,000 heart surgeries since its founding in 2001, The Heart Institute of Staten Island is among New York State's top medical centers performing coronary artery bypass surgery. According to the New York State Department of Health, the Institute has attained this standing while accepting higher risk patients and still has the lowest mortality rate for open-heart surgery.
Worldwide, approximately 675,000 patients require some form of coronary artery bypass surgery each year. A majority of those patients are receiving arrested heart procedures, others beating heart procedures, and a growing number are receiving minimally invasive CABG procedures.

Surgeons, cardiologists, other health care providers and patients are invited to join Andy
Surgeons, cardiologists, other health care providers and patients are invited to join Andy C. Kiser, M.D., in a live panel presentation of the Paracardioscopic Ex-Maze procedure for the treatment of long-standing atrial fibrillation.
Dr. Kiser, in collaboration with a team of international surgeons, developed the Ex-Maze, which is a beating-heart, extra-cardiac maze procedure capable of causing spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm (SR) during lesion creation.
For many years, the "gold standard" for a-fib treatment has been a surgical procedure called the Cox Maze, which requires opening the chest, stopping the heart, cutting it into sections and sewing it back together. Dr. Kiser has led the development of a new version of the Cox Maze.
