Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery is a procedure that promotes advanced technology and innovative techniques in order to treat back and neck pain that results from various spinal disorders. Some of the conditions that can be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery are:
- degenerative disc disease
- herniated discs
- scoliosis
- spinal stenosis
Mainly, there are 3 types of minimally invasive spine surgery procedures:
- Mini-open: Similar to an open procedure but with fewer risks
- Tubular: Involves a tubular retractor that acts like a tunnel passing through the back muscles to access the spine
- Endoscopic: Uses a tiny video camera passing through small surgical incisions to access the spine
