Saeed Sam Sadrameli, MD's Expert Contributions
What is Neurosurgery and What Does it Take to Become One?
Neurosurgery is a subspecialty of surgery with focus on diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This includes pathologies in the brain as well as the spine and peripheral nerves. Some of the most common diseases addressed by neurosurgeons are brain and spinal tumors, brain aneurysms,...
What can a neurosurgeon do for sciatica?
If all conservative measures fail, a minimally invasive neurosurgeon can perform endoscopic discectomy through an 8 mm incision to decompress the nerve. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
What are the treatments for sciatica?
Physical therapy, NSAIDS, chiropractor care, and pain management for epidural steroid injection. If those dont help, endoscopic discectomy can be considered. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
How long is the treatment for sciatica?
Sciatica is usually due to a disc herniation or narrowing of the spinal canal or other rare causes. There are various nonsurgical options to try including physical therapy, NSAIDS, or pain management injection. Up to 80% of sciatica from disc herniation improves with time and conservative measures. In 20% non-responders, endoscopic surgery can be offered to help and patients do very well after surgery and in my practice will return to their normal life in 72 hours. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
spinal dye injection
Typically MRI is the preferred imaging study to evaluate the spine and diseases related to the spine. In certain cases (i.e. existing hardware from a previous spinal fusion) CT Myelogram (dye injection) can be very helpful. This is typically performed by interventional radiologist or neurosurgeons and will be under local anesthetics. It may be uncomfortable but generally well tolerated. READ MORE
Back pain
There are various reasons for back pain and without appropriate imaging studies, it is difficult to diagnose and treat the issue. It could be as simple as arthritic pain to disc herniation, to facet inflammation, to malignancy. Symptoms appear to be chronic and therefore a degenerative problem is more likely. I would advise a consultation with a spine-focused neurosurgeon. READ MORE
Surgery duration
I typically tell patients operative time depends on many factors and mostly the complexity of the surgery at hand and no two surgeries are exactly identical. What matters the most beyond surgical time (as long as its not abnormally lengthy) is your surgical outcome. Do your research about your surgeon and the proposed surgery prior to the operation and if you feel comfortable with your surgeon and what youve read about her/him, youre likely making the right choice. Best of luck. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
Surgery Dilemma
It is important to optimize all aspect of care prior to any surgery. This includes bone health (no osteopenia or osteoporosis), mobility, and other issues. It is difficult to decide which surgery to proceed with first without much clinical information but I would discuss this with both your spine and knee surgeon and have a consensus. You can also seek a second opinion to have a fresh set of eyes evaluating the clinical issue at hand. Hope this helps. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
Is nerve damage fixable?
That depends on the etiology of nerve damage. Either way it is recommended to do a complete workup including imaging and EMG/NCS. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
How can you fix the nerve damage in the back?
Most nerve damage in the back can be fixed surgically. At the minimum, surgery can prevent further damage to the nerve as the process is often progressive in nature. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic/Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Surgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealth Celebration Office: 407.975.0200 (8030) READ MORE
How can you fix back nerve pain?
That is precisely why you see a neurosurgeon. We are specialized in nerve decompression which in turn will alleviate nerve pain or sciatica. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic, Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Neurosurgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealthCerebration READ MORE
Does a neurologist treat sciatica?
Typically a neurosurgeon treats sciatica. Conservative measures offered by pain management can be considered for majority of sciatica type complaints. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic/Minimally Invasive and Robotic Spine Surgeon Orlando Neurosurgery, AdventHealth Celebration Office: 407.975.0200 (8030) READ MORE
Should I see a neurosurgeon for neck pain?
Yes, a spine-focused neurosurgeon can help with neck pain. MRI cervical spine and upright xrays can be helpful to determine the cause of neck pain. READ MORE
Can sciatica be cured?
Sciatica is often due to compression a never or multiple nerves. Patient often experience pain shooting down the leg. The reason for nerve compression varies from patient to patient and can be due to disc herniation, top down foraminal stenosis, spinal stenosis or other less common pathologies. Most sciaticas are curable. Please contact us to ask about our ultra minimally invasive endoscopic approach for treatments of sciatica. READ MORE
What is the best treatment for sciatica?
Once the reason behind sciatica is identified, which is most commonly a disc herniation, conservative measures followed by endoscopic discectomy are most likely the best surgical solution. READ MORE
Can you live a normal life with a brain aneurysm?
Yes you can. You need to however be aware of risk factors for brain aneurysm rupture and optimize those. READ MORE
Can nerve damage in the foot be fixed?
If nerve damage is due to compression or other mechanical problems, it can be decompressed. It is unpredictable to what degree the damage is reversible. READ MORE
Can back nerve damage be fixed?
Nerve damage in the lumbar spine can be due to a variety of reasons and the extent of injury is also variable. In cases of nerve injury due to mechanical compression such as disc herniation or spinal canal narrowing, nerve damage can show some improvement upon treating the underlying problem. Saeed S. Sadrameli, MD Endoscopic/Minimally Invasive & Complex Spine Surgeon Orlando Neurosurgery Cell: 407.676.0523 READ MORE
How long is recovery from spinal nerve surgery?
After a nerve decompression spine surgery, symptoms may take a year to improve as nerves are typically slow to recover. In general the longer and more extensive the degree of nerve compression, the longer it takes to recover. Older individuals tend to take longer to recover and it may never reach a 100% recovery. Seek help today if you suffer from arm or leg pain due to nerve compression as there may be minimally invasive ways to treat your problem. READ MORE
Advice
While it is nearly impossible to provide any meaningful clinical advice online, your condition can certainly be evaluated in office and I am happy to see you as a consultation. In general severe cervical stenosis have sequela that are variable from patient to patient and treatment options heavily depend on physical exam and history. READ MORE
EMG testing
Blood test is not needed in order for the EMG to be performed. READ MORE

Dr. Sadrameli is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery. He is a part of the team of professionals at Orlando Neurosurgery, treating adults out of the office in AdventHealth Celebration Hospital in Kissimmee, Florida.
His areas of special interest include ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery, robotic spine surgery, cervical disc replacement, minimally invasive tubular decompression, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). He offers patient-specific solutions for sciatica, neck, and back pain ranging from non-operative treatments to more sophisticated surgical procedures. Dr. Sadrameli believes that the most minimally invasive surgery is no surgery and is often able to provide ultra-minimally invasive endoscopic solutions to avoid a spinal fusion.
While working as an engineer, Dr. Sadrameli became interested in medicine. He found his engineering world to be lacking in personal connections, and began volunteer work at a hospital, where he found his passion in the challenging yet rewarding world of medicine. That inspired him to return to Florida and pursue his medical training.
After completing his Bachelor and Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering, he received his medical training from the University of Florida College of Medicine. While in school, he was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and served as its president. He also served as the president of the Surgical Subspecialty Interest Group. He subsequently went on to complete his residency in neurosurgery at the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute, where he also received fellowship training at the Texas Medical Center with focus on spinal endoscopy as well as spinal oncology at the world renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Passionate about his profession, Dr. Sadrameli is board-eligible in neurosurgery by the American Board of Neurological Surgery. Dr. Sadrameli’s practice aims to utilize state-of-the art technology as well as modern surgical techniques to offer the least invasive solution to address patient’s symptoms while maximizing the longevity of the spine by avoiding spinal instrumentation when possible.

Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system. Neurosurgeons are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the nervous system, often by performing surgery on the brain or spine. They treat strokes, tumors, certain types of birth defects, infections, and head or spinal cord injuries.
Combining his expertise in engineering with his passion for surgery and caring for people, Dr. Sadrameli was drawn towards the specialty of neurosurgery. He has published over 25 manuscripts in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery and sports-related injury. He has presented his research in multiple regional and national conferences.
