The UAMS Department of Neurosurgery offers a new method for spine surgery called the lateral procedure. If this type of procedure is an option it minimizes potential trauma to the body, minimizes pain, and allows the patient to go home sooner.

The UAMS Department of Neurosurgery is a participant in the National Neurosurgical Quality Outcomes Database (N²QOD), a national clinical registry sponsored by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. The purpose of participation in this registry is to help measure and improve quality of care and outcomes of spinal neurosurgery not only here at UAMS and in Arkansas but also on a national level.
