  • Intra-operative Neuromonitoring: Provides critical insights into the nervous system during spine procedures, allowing surgeons to monitor nerve locations with optimal precision, thereby reducing risks.
  • Stealth Navigation: Enhances the accuracy of instrument navigation and device placement during even the most complex surgeries by giving surgeons a more precise view of the patient’s spine.

For Our Referring Physicians

At Nebraska Spine Hospital, we recognize the crucial role primary care providers play in the continuum of care. We believe that patients achieve better outcomes when they return to their primary care provider for recovery and healing.

To ensure seamless transitions, when necessary our staff schedules a follow-up appointment with the primary care provider before discharge. Additionally, we guarantee that all necessary discharge and medical information is sent to the primary care provider’s office ahead of the patient’s post-operative appointment.

Thank you for partnering with us in providing exceptional patient care.
