Dr. Sanjay Jatana is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon who specializes in the treatment of back pain and neck pain for those in the Denver region and Summit County, Colorado. Dr. Jatana is part of Colorado Spine Partners, in Englewood, Colorado. Dr. Jatana specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery and artificial disc replacement. He is proficient in the use of multiple FDA-approved artificial discs including Mobi-C, Prodisc-C, Prodisc Vivo and Prestige LP.  Each disc has advantages and may better fit a patient. Some discs, for example, come in a smaller size for women and smaller men.

Dr. Sanjay Jatana Specializes in complex back and neck surgery and is referred complex back and neck patients from across Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas. This includes patients who had back or neck surgery elsewhere with continuing symptoms.

Dr. Jatana also provides two specialized neck surgeries that preserve the natural motion of the neck vertebrae. These two surgeries are not typically provided by other Colorado spine surgeons because they require advanced training and experience, and proficiency with minimally invasive instrumentation:
•  Cervical Lamino-Foraminotomy
•  Cervical Laminoplasty

There are relatively few spine surgeons in the State of Colorado trained to perform these two neck surgeries.   “Both of these surgeries are motion-preserving non-fusion neck surgeries,” explains Dr. Jatana. “These surgeries require specialized expertise in neck surgery because they involve a posterior approach (from the back of the neck), the use of tiny instruments and microsurgery. The benefit of these two surgeries is that they are minimally invasive, non-fusion, and motion preserving approaches that provide a faster return to activity.”

The advantages of a Cervical Lamino-Foraminotomy and Cervical Laminoplasty include: Less invasive surgery; non-fusion; retains natural movement of the neck; and a faster return to work/activity.
