Minimally invasive spine surgeries

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is a type of surgery on the bones of your spine (backbone). This type of surgery uses smaller incisions than standard surgery. This often causes less harm to nearby muscles and other tissues. It can lead to less pain and faster recovery after surgery.

 

 

What Are Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries ?

Minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISS) are advanced surgical techniques designed to treat various spinal conditions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. These procedures use small incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced imaging guidance to address spine-related problems effectively. Compared to traditional open surgeries, MISS offers several benefits, including reduced pain, quicker recovery, and lower risk of complications.

Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries :

  • Herniated Discs :

Treatment to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by displaced disc material.

  • Spinal Stenosis :

Procedures to alleviate narrowing of the spinal canal and restore mobility.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease :

Interventions to address worn-out spinal discs causing pain and stiffness.

  • Spinal Fractures :

Stabilization of fractures caused by trauma or osteoporosis.

  • Scoliosis and Deformities :

Correction of abnormal spinal curvatures using minimally invasive techniques.

  • Spinal Tumors :

Removal of tumors in the spine with precision and minimal tissue damage.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries

  • Smaller Incisions : Reduced scarring and better cosmetic outcomes.
  • Less Tissue Damage : Preservation of muscles and surrounding structures.
  • Reduced Pain : Less postoperative discomfort compared to open surgeries.
  • Faster Recovery : Quicker return to daily activities and work.
  • Lower Risk of Complications : Minimized risk of infection, blood loss, and other surgical complications
  • Shorter Hospital Stays : Most patients can return home within 24 to 48 hours.

Types of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries Offered

  • Microdiscectomy

Removal of herniated disc material causing nerve compression.

  • Spinal Fusion

Stabilization of the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae.

  • Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty

Treatment for spinal fractures using bone cement.

  • Laminectomy

Removal of a portion of the vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

  • Foraminotomy

Enlargement of the foramen to relieve nerve compression.

  • Artificial Disc Replacement

Replacement of damaged discs with artificial ones to maintain mobility.
