The Bonati Procedures
In 1991, the U.S. Government issued the first patent for the instrumentation to perform laser spine surgery to one institute. The Bonati Institute.
All spine surgeries performed at The Bonati Spine Institute use The Bonati Procedures, which employ a patented method and instruments to decompress nerve roots in the spine, including a series of dilating tubes along with the FDA-approved Holmium YAG Laser and instruments specialized for the procedure being performed.

The Bonati Procedures
have shown to be effective in treating pain from:
failed back surgery syndrome • sciatica • spinal fusion • headache • pinched nerve
back pain • neck
pain • degenerative disc disease • spinal instability • fibrosis
lumbar arthritis • spondylosis • spondylolisthesis • chronic back pain • nerve pain
facet syndrome • lumbar pain • radiculopathy • cervical pain • bone spurs
bulging discs • herniated disc • cervical disc problems • foraminal stenosis
degenerative arthritis • failed fusion • radiculitis • scar tissue • scoliosis
spinal cord compression • whiplash

The Bonati Procedures produce a documented success rate of nearly 94%.
According to The New England Journal of Medicine, open fusion spine surgery is associated with more
complications than any other type of spine surgery, and that recovery from open spine surgery can take
months to a year in some cases.
- The Bonati Procedures produce far less trauma, blood loss and scarring than old-fashioned,
highly invasive open spine surgeries.
- The Bonati Procedures avoid dissection of the muscle and removal of large amounts of bone.
- The Bonati Procedures are performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and do not require overnight hospitalization.
- The Bonati Procedures usually enable patients to return to work and resume normal daily
activities
much sooner than patients who have had open back surgery.
- The Bonati Procedures usually cost less than half of the average open or fusion surgery.
- The Bonati Procedures have been performed successfully more than 40,000 times.
