NEW TECHNIQUE IMPROVES SPINE SURGERY:
STOSSA spine surgeon, Dr. Guy Fogel, operates through an incision in the patient's side, not through the back, with a new procedure known as the X-LIF. This allows Dr. Fogel to avoid more muscles and nerves, and a faster recovery time for the patient.

FREE STOSSA SEMINARS:
STOSSA offers free ongoing seminars to educate prospective patients. These informative and interactive presentations are held at our surgical facility as well as various locations throughout South Texas. Below, you will find a current list of upcoming dates, times and locations.
