MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
Minimally invasive surgery, or MIS, is a muscle friendly approach to spine surgery. Surgery is designed to stabilize the patient’s spinal joints and vertebral bones to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves.


What Are The Main Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery is an alternative to open surgery, and is much safer, faster, and requires less recovery time. It also creates much less trauma to the muscles and soft tissues.
Primary benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Greatly reduced risk of muscle damage or infection
- Smaller skin incisions, causing superior cosmetic results
- Less blood loss
- Less postoperative pain and faster recovery
- Less reliance on pain medications to deal with post-surgery pain
- Lesser risk for an adverse reaction to general anesthesia
