Kia Shahlaie, MD, PhD from UC Davis Health System: Minimally Invasive Surgery Helping Neurology Patients in New Ways Every Day

While minimally invasive surgery is not a new concept the rapid advances in technology are helping to treat patients with more wide ranging conditions than ever before.

Kia Shahlaie, MD, PhD, from UC Davis Health System discussed some of these developments during a recent interview with MD Magazine.
