What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses advanced techniques and specialized instruments to treat spinal conditions through small incisions, typically less than 1 inch. These procedures minimize muscle damage, reduce recovery time, and provide excellent outcomes for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
Faster Recovery: Minimally invasive spine surgery reduces recovery time by 50-75% compared to traditional open surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within weeks.
Conditions Treated
Minimally invasive techniques are effective for:
- Herniated Discs: Bulging or ruptured discs pressing on nerves
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of spinal canal compressing nerves
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Worn discs causing pain and instability
- Spondylolisthesis: Vertebra slipping out of position
- Spinal Tumors: Benign or malignant growths
- Compression Fractures: Vertebral breaks from osteoporosis
- Sciatica: Nerve pain radiating down the leg
Minimally Invasive Techniques
Endoscopic Discectomy
Camera-guided removal of herniated disc material through a tube smaller than a pencil.
Micro-Decompression
Precision removal of bone and tissue to relieve nerve compression with minimal disruption.
Percutaneous Fusion
Spinal fusion through small incisions using specialized screws and rods.
Surgery Process
Pre-operative Planning
Advanced imaging and 3D planning to map exact surgical approach and minimize tissue damage.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Small incisions, specialized instruments, and real-time imaging for precise treatment.
Rapid Recovery
Same-day or overnight stay with immediate mobilization and pain relief.
Quick Return to Activities
Faster return to work and normal activities with minimal restrictions.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Approach
Advantages over traditional open spine surgery:
- Smaller incisions: Reduced scarring and tissue damage
- Less muscle damage: Muscles moved aside rather than cut
- Reduced blood loss: Lower transfusion risk
- Faster recovery: Return to activities in weeks not months
- Less pain: Minimal post-operative discomfort
- Lower infection risk: Smaller surgical wounds
- Outpatient option: Many procedures done same-day
- Better outcomes: Excellent success rates with fewer complications
