Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimal Invasive spine surgery involves

• use of very small incisions,
• minimal muscle retraction,
• less normal tissue damage
• targeted treatment of pathology.

Advantages

• Many surgeries are done under local anesthesia, hence surgeries can be done even in patients with high risk of anesthesia.
• There is less blood loss.
• minimal morbidity.
• Patient can be mobilized very early and he can be back to work faster.
• it prevents complications associated with prolonged bed rest.

Since normal tissues are not removed or damaged, post operative pain is less and also there is less chance of failed back syndrome.
