Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries (MIS Spine Surgery) or key-hole spine surgeries are spine surgery procedures done with minimal soft tissue destruction. The main aims of the surgery, i.e. decompression, instrumentation and fusion are achieved with a small skin incision. Specialized retractor system are used for decompression surgeries. Specialized equipment are used for MIS spine surgery to allow instrumentation through tiny holes in the skin. A microscope/ endoscope is usually used for these surgeries.
