Spine surgery is traditionally performed as “open surgery”. This means that the area being worked on is opened with a long incision so that the surgeon can see and use the anatomy. In recent years, however, technological advances have made it possible to treat more back and neck conditions with minimally invasive surgical techniques.

This usually results in less pain and faster healing after surgery.

The indications for minimally invasive spine surgery are similar to those of conventional open surgery. Spinal surgery is usually recommended only when periods of non-surgical treatment, such as medications and physical therapy, have not relieved the painful symptoms caused by your back problem. In addition, surgery is only considered when your doctor can identify the exact source of your pain, such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.

There are several minimally invasive techniques. The common denominator among all of them is that they use smaller incisions and cause less muscle loss. Minimally invasive techniques can be used for common procedures such as lumbar degeneration and spinal fusion. Decomposition relieves pressure on the spine by removing parts of the bone or a herniated disc. The basic idea is to fuse the painful vertebrae so that they fill in the same solid bone.

One of the main drawbacks of open surgery is that stretching or “stretching” the muscles can cause damage to both the muscle and the surrounding soft tissue. Although the goal of the surgeon’s return is to help the surgeon visualize the problem area, it usually affects the anatomy more than the surgeon needs. As a result, muscle injury is more likely and patients may experience pain after surgery that is different from back pain felt before surgery. This can lead to a longer recovery period. Larger incision and soft tissue damage may also increase the risk of blood loss and infection.

Minimally invasive spinal surgery was developed to treat spinal problems with fewer injuries to the muscles and other common structures of the spine. This helps the surgeon to see only where the problem is present in the spine. Other advantages of MISS include smaller incisions, less bleeding, and smaller hospitals.

Unlike open spine surgery, a minimally invasive surgical approach can be fast, safe, and requires short recovery time. Due to reduced trauma to muscles and soft tissues (compared to open procedures), the potential benefits are:

Better aesthetic results with smaller skin incisions (sometimes as small as several millimeters)

Reduced blood loss due to surgery

Reduce the risk of muscle damage, as little or no muscle harvesting is required

Reducing the risk of infection and postoperative pain.

Rapid recovery from surgery and reduced required rehabilitation

Reduction in dependence on painkillers after surgery.

In addition, some MIS surgeries are performed as outpatient procedures and only local anesthesia is used, so there is a lower risk of adverse reactions to general anesthesia.

As with any surgical procedure, no matter how minimal, it includes, but is not limited to, certain risks:

Potential adverse reactions to the anesthetic.

Unexpected blood loss during the procedure.

Localized infection, no matter how small the incision area

And, while rare, there is always a small chance that the initial MIS surgery cannot be completed, requiring a second procedure or completely open surgery.

Conditions Treated by MIS Procedures

degenerative disc disease

herniated disc

Spinal cord thinning

Spinal deformity like scoliosis.

Spinal infection

Spinal instability including spondylolisthesis

Vertebral compression fracture

Spinal tumor

Candidates for MIS Surgery

A doctor can tell which MIS surgery, if any, may be an option to treat spinal conditions. In some situations, MIS surgery may not be as safe or effective as traditional open surgery. If so, your doctor will be able to tell you the relative risks and benefits. In addition, there are some conditions that are not truly curable.
