Dr. Massoud also conducted a series of surgical seminars in New Jersey, sponsored by Richard Wolf Medical Instruments Corp., in which he taught surgeons specific endoscopic spine surgery techniques.

Minimally invasive spine surgery procedures, such as those performed by Dr. Massoud, have been proven effective over the past 15 years and are quickly becoming the preferred treatment for many patients. The procedures use smaller incisions, leaving surrounding muscles and tissues intact, and avoid the use of general anesthesia, resulting in much shorter recovery times than traditional open back surgery procedures.
