Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specific techniques to allow treatment of certain spine conditions through a smaller incision when compared to many of the traditional open techniques. This can be suitable for  certain disc prolapse, nerve compression, and degenerative conditions.   What Is Involved in a Minimal Invasive Spine Procedure? 1- Smaller incisions – Procedures will be performed through small incisions. 2- Reduced muscle trauma – The technique aims to reduce any damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. 3- Endoscopic/Minimally invasive techniques – Certain conditions may require an endoscopic or other minimal invasive technique. 4- Not suitable for everyone – Not all spinal problems can be treated this way. A minimally invasive spine surgery  will depend on your diagnosis, medical history, and what you wish to achieve.   Please contact the clinic for further information regarding minimally invasive spine surgery.
