Bienville Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon Joseph Cox, MD, and the Singing River Health System Team perform the first spine surgery using a new technique called Prone Transpsoas or PTP in Mississippi. PTP is a safe and effective approach to ease pain faster and improve the posture of those who undergo this minimally invasive disc correcting procedure. PTP is a single-position surgery with the help of a mechanical operating table that allows the surgeon to place the rods and screws into the spine without having to manually rotate the patient, which has proven to lessen complications and create better outcomes than traditional methods.
