Dr. Philip Henkin Neurosurgery AP has two offices: one in Brandon, Florida, and one in Ruskin, Florida. Brandon Regional Hospital, South Bay Hospital, South Florida Baptist Hospital, HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, St. Vincent's Medical Center, and Doctors Hospital of Sarasota are among the hospitals with which he is affiliated. Dr. Henkin's practice is notable for his rejection of fad surgeries in favor of evidence-based, results-driven care decisions. Furthermore, in a state with such a high number of retirees, Dr. Henkin's practice accepts the amount Medicare will reimburse as full payment. This method cannot treat every condition, but for those that can, MISS can significantly reduce both risk and recovery time for the patient. A herniated disc, infection in the spine, narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis), spinal deformities such as scoliosis, and removal of a tumor in the spine are some conditions that may be candidates for MIS. Instability of the spine, Spondylolysis is a defect in the lower vertebrae that results in a fractured vertebra. MISS makes much smaller incisions and reduces trauma to nearby muscles and tissues. A tube-shaped instrument pushes tissues aside more gently to allow the surgeon to work. Choosing MISS can result in lower infection risk, less bleeding, less scarring, shorter hospital stays, and improved patient functional capacity. Surgical robotics and real-time microscopic imaging may be used. Dr. Henkin is trained in the Mazor X Robotic System and Computer Image Guidance Technologies.
