Description

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a surgical approach that uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to treat spinal conditions, aiming to reduce muscle damage, pain, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Techniques may involve tubular retractors, endoscopic approaches, or robotic assistance, allowing surgeons to access the spine with less trauma to surrounding tissues. Conditions treated include spinal stenosis, herniated discs, scoliosis, and tumors, with potential benefits like less blood loss, lower infection rates, and a quicker return to daily life.
