Understanding Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

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.
