Earlier this month, Dr. Giovanini performed the coflex procedure in an ASC. The coflex Interlaminar Stabilization device is indicated for use at one or two levels for lumbar stenosis from L1-L5, and can be an alternative to spinal fusion.
Dr. Giovanini is a neurospine specialist with NeuroMicroSpine in Pensacola, Fla. He focuses on minimally invasive spine surgery and has been a consultant for many major spine companies. Dr. Giovanini completed his neurosurgical training at the University of Florida at Shands Hospital; he also trained under Richard Fessler, MD, during his residency training.
