What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery is a form of surgery that does not require large incisions to view or operate on problem areas. It is done through the help of navigation systems that allow neurosurgeons to work without damaging muscle tissues. This procedure allows reduced blood loss, lower muscle damage, and faster recovery rates.

At Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas, we employ a wide range of minimally invasive spine surgery techniques that ranges from cervical laminoforaminotomy to sacroiliac joint fusion. Compared to traditional surgical techniques, there’s less overall trauma to the body’s tissues and muscles, which leads to a world of benefits such as:

• Less surgical blood loss
• Reduced risk of infection and damage
• Reduced pain, leading to less reliance on post-operative pain management
• Reduced incision size, leading to optimum cosmetic results
• Quicker recovery times
