Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

When clinically appropriate, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) may be considered. These techniques use smaller incisions and specialized surgical approaches to access the affected area of the spine.

Potential benefits may include reduced tissue disruption, less postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery in appropriately selected patients. The suitability of minimally invasive surgery depends on the specific spinal condition and individual patient factors.
