Your Guide To Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery

Understanding Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

• Minimally invasive spine surgery refers to a procedure that aims at achieving

outcomes similar to an open spine surgery, but while reducing disruption of
ligament attachment sites, muscle dissection, and collateral damage to soft
tissues.
• Such a surgery is generally performed for relieving pressure on the spinal
nerves resulting from conditions such as bone spurs, spinal instability,
herniated disc, spinal tumours, etc. or for stabilizing the vertebral bines and
spinal joints.
 How is it Better?
• Minimally invasive spine surgery as opposed to the conventional approach is safer,
faster, and also needs less time for recovery. Among the benefits of opting for a
minimally invasive spine surgery, are –
• Less trauma to muscles and soft tissues
• Less blood loss during surgery
• Reduced risk of infections and pain post operation
• Better cosmetic results due to smaller incisions
• Reduced reliance on pain medication post-surgery
• Faster recovery and lesser need for rehabilitation
• Besides the above, minimally invasive surgeries are carried out on an outpatient
basis and only use local anaesthesia, so the risk of developing a reaction to
general anaesthesia is also nullified.
