What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) uses advanced tools and techniques to perform spinal procedures through small incisions, causing less disruption to surrounding tissues compared to traditional surgery. This approach offers numerous benefits, including reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.
What We Treat:
- Tumors
- Degenerative diseases
- Herniated discs
- Pinched nerves
- Spinal trauma
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- Stenosis
- SI Joint
- Complex spinal conditions
Advanced Procedures
Since the body as a whole is dependent on the central nervous system, treatment options can vary. From non-surgical spine treatments to minimally invasive back surgery, he tailors every approach to your unique needs, offering pain management solutions that go beyond expectations.
- Microdiscectomy: A procedure to remove herniated disc material pressing on a nerve root or spinal cord, performed through a small incision with the aid of a microscope.
- Spinal Fusion: A surgery to join two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine and reduce pain caused by movement. Techniques include traditional and minimally invasive approaches.
- Robotic Spine Surgery: Utilizing robotic technology for enhanced precision during complex spinal surgeries, ensuring optimal alignment and outcomes.
- Laser Spine Surgery: Using focused laser energy to remove or shrink problematic tissue, relieving pressure on spinal nerves.
- Spinal Decompression Surgery: Procedures like laminectomy or laminotomy to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by spinal stenosis or other conditions.
- Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing damaged discs with artificial ones to preserve motion in the spine and alleviate pain caused by degenerative disc disease.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Techniques?
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Reduced risk of infection and complications
- Faster recovery and less postoperative pain
- Quicker return to daily activities
