A lumbar discectomy is a life-changing procedure for many patients suffering from back pain due to a herniated disc. While the surgeon performs the critical task of removing the damaged portion of the disc, surgical assistants (RNFA, PA, CSA) play an equally important role in ensuring the operation runs smoothly.

Registered Nurse First Assistants (RNFAs) are essential in complex surgeries like distal biceps tenodesis. They provide critical intraoperative support, assisting with retraction, suturing, and maintaining a sterile field. Surgical assistants trained in Arthrex tools enhance the precision and success rate of this procedure.

Honestly, I don’t know what I was even expecting, but what I saw was a well-organized surgical department with shelf after shelf of instrument trays and sterile supplies. The entire OR 1 crew – Tori, CRNA; Kristen, RNFA; Me; Shannon, CST Linda, Kristen, Shannon, Marcia (anesthesiologist), and me Tori was a great CRNA to work with!
