MIS Spine Surgery
Like other surgical fields, MIS (Minimal Invasive Surgery) has revolutionized spine surgery. Traditionally, spine surgery was a dreaded procedure for patients due to pain, prolonged recovery, and uncertain results. Over the last decade, spine surgeries are now performed either by an endoscope (Endoscopic Spine Surgery) or using MIS fixation techniques. The advantages include no muscle damage, minimal blood loss, short hospital stay, next-day mobilization, and reduced complications.
Common procedures performed using MIS techniques include:
- Slipped Disc Surgery / Sciatica (Endoscopic)
- PIVD Surgery (Endoscopic)
- Spinal Stenosis Surgery (Endoscopic)
- Lateral Recess Surgery (Endoscopic)
- Foraminal Stenosis Surgery (Endoscopic)
- Far Lateral Disc Surgery (Endoscopic)
- Spine Instability Surgery
- MIS Spine Fixation & Fusion
- Spinal Canal Decompression (Endoscopic)
- Trans Pedicular Biopsy
- Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty
- MIS Spine Fracture Fixation
Why people are scared of spine surgery:
- Fear of nerve damage or paralysis
- Long bed rest and absence from work after surgery
Another common concern is that patients believe their spine will become weak and they won’t be able to live a normal life after surgery. While this was often true for open surgeries—where muscles and bones are cut, bleeding occurs, and prolonged bed rest was required—these concerns are now largely addressed by MIS techniques.
With MIS Spine Surgery, the spine is not opened fully. Surgeons work through a minimal incision, preserving muscles and bones. The endoscope magnifies the nerves and spinal cord up to 20 times, making nerve damage extremely unlikely. Most spine conditions, such as disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, fractures, and degenerative spine disorders, can now be treated safely using MIS techniques. Only complex cases like tumors or revision spine surgeries may still require traditional approaches. Today, over 90% of our spine patients are treated using MIS, significantly reducing patient fear and improving recovery.
