SAME DAY SURGERIES
Driven by the pandemic, there has been a recent rise in the number of patients seeking outpatient surgical treatment followed by an at home recovery period. Did you know this is possible for joint replacement surgery? OrthoConnecticut offers surgical appointments at the modern outpatient surgery center, Western Connecticut Orthopedic Surgical Center (WCOSC), conveniently located in Danbury. WCOSC is a valuable extension of our orthopedic practice as it enables us to provide the finest surgical experience at a state-of-the-art ambulatory facility. |

ANTERIOR LUMBAR SPINE SURGERY
In this informative video, Justin Paul, M.D., Ph.D, discusses the benefits of correcting degenerative issues of the lumbar discs by using the anterior approach to surgery. The less invasive anterior approach, which enables surgeons to reach the spine from the front of the body, can be used to replace or to fuse discs, allowing for restored body motion and excellent results.
