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.
