Understanding Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: A Modern Approach to Spine Care

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) represents a revolutionary advancement in treating spine conditions, offering patients a less traumatic alternative to traditional open surgery. At Legent Spine, our expert surgeons utilize state-of-the-art techniques to perform these procedures through tiny incisions, typically less than an inch in length.

How MISS Works

Unlike traditional open surgery, MISS employs specialized instruments and advanced imaging technology to access the spine through small, precise incisions. This approach allows our surgeons to treat various spine conditions while minimizing damage to surrounding muscles and tissues.

Key Benefits for Patients

• Smaller incisions resulting in minimal scarring
• Reduced post-operative pain
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster recovery and return to daily activities
• Lower risk of complications
• Less blood loss during surgery

Conditions We Treat

MISS can effectively address numerous spine conditions, including:

• Herniated discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal fractures
• Some forms of scoliosis

Is MISS Right for You?

While minimally invasive spine surgery offers numerous advantages, not everyone is a candidate for this approach. Our experienced spine specialists will carefully evaluate your condition, medical history, and specific needs to determine if MISS is the most appropriate treatment option for you.

Our comprehensive approach includes detailed pre-operative planning and dedicated post-operative care to ensure the best possible results from your minimally invasive procedure.
