Many patients are apprehensive of traditional open spine surgery, as there are some risks associated. MIS may be an option for those who are not ready to undergo such a serious surgery. MIS uses computer-assisted technology and instrumentation to help treat your condition with a reduced recovery period, less scarring and pain after surgery, and improved functionality.
The most common type of MIS treatments are MIS tubular microdiscectomy, MIS lumbar laminectomy, cervical laminoforaminotomy, endoscopic discectomy, MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, MIS lateral, percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation, and pre-sacral interbody arthrodesis.
