Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

  • Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has revolutionized the treatment of spinal conditions, offering patients a less invasive and potentially faster recovery alternative to traditional open surgery. This technique involves making small incisions, often less than an inch, to access the spine, minimizing tissue disruption and pain. By utilizing specialized instruments and advanced imaging technologies, surgeons can precisely target and address the source of the problem, whether it be a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or a fracture. During MISS, surgeons may use endoscopic techniques, tubular retractors, or other minimally invasive tools to achieve optimal results. The benefits of MISS are numerous, including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, less scarring, and a faster return to daily activities.
