Patient w/ severe leg and back pain relied on a wheelchair. Duke spine neurosurgeon Muhammad Abd-El-Barr (Muhammad Abd-El-Barr MD PhD FAANS) performed an awake transforaminal lumbar discectomy, a min invasive option. Pain-free post-op, she walked out the same day. Two months later, she’s thriving.

Some of the best surgeries we do is no surgery at all! It's great to work with an interdisciplinary team -working on lifestyle changes, specific injections, PT/OT, chiropractic care and the patient's back pain is resolved without surgery. Duke Spine

MIS + awake spine = game changer for frail patients! 74yo with Parkinson’s & neurogenic claudication from L4–5 stenosis. Had tried PT & injections. Then, Muhammad Abd-El-Barr MD PhD FAANS performed awake decompression. No complications, and a year later she's back to activities—including boxing🥊

New pub: cureus.com/articles/34626… Can CT SPECT be used to diagnose and prognosticate how patients with low back pain will do with surgery? Huge kudos Duke University School of Medicine Brittany "Grace" Futch Duke Spine

Happy to announce inclusion as one of the Neurosurgery and Spine Research All-Stars for 2025! Lab website: neurosurgery.duke.edu/abd-el-barr-lab Research allows us to take better care of patients!

#metsgetsawareness starts in June!

All-star, indeed!

Checkout our new study👇👇 Despite the high prevalence of pain, it wasn’t linked to significant distress in patients with spine mets. Emotional symptoms like anxiety and fear had a much greater impact. Important implications for supportive care. Duke Spine
