Transforming Lives with Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical approach used to treat spinal conditions with smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues compared to traditional open spine surgery. It leverages specialized instruments, tubular retractors, and intraoperative imaging technologies such as fluoroscopy or computer-assisted navigation. This technique significantly reduces blood loss, postoperative pain, and recovery time.

MISS is commonly performed for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, vertebral fractures, and spinal instability. Procedures may include discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, or vertebroplasty. With advancements in surgical tools and imaging, MISS can often be performed on an outpatient or short-stay basis, making it a favorable option for patients seeking quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort.
