Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

The goals of MIS are to achieve the same results as open surgery.

MIS is done through small incisions and minimal muscle disruption.

Not all spinal disorders may be managed by MIS

What are the benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery?

• A few tiny scars instead of one large scar

  1. •Diminished blood loss

  2. •Shorter hospital stay

• Reduced postoperative pain

• Shorter recovery time - a few months instead of a year - and quicker return to daily activities, including work
