Minimally Invasive Spine (MIS) Surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses advanced technology and specialized surgical techniques to treat spinal conditions through small incisions, often less than one inch. The goal is to achieve the best possible surgical outcome while minimizing disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues.

Compared with traditional open spine surgery, minimally invasive techniques may offer several benefits, including less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, a lower risk of infection, smaller scars, and a faster recovery.

Many minimally invasive spine procedures can also be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day without an overnight hospital stay.

Specific evaluation and treatment depend on the patient. Your surgeon will explain whether a minimally invasive approach is appropriate for you and whether a hospital stay is needed.
