Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced technique designed to relieve pain and restore mobility with smaller incisions, less tissue damage, and faster recovery compared to traditional spine surgery. Using specialized instruments and imaging technology, MISS effectively treats conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, helping patients get back to their daily lives with minimal downtime.
MISS is a surgical technique that uses small incisions and specialized tools to treat spinal conditions with less disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues, leading to quicker recovery and reduced pain.
MISS is commonly used for herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and some forms of spinal instability.
Unlike traditional open surgery, MISS involves smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced postoperative pain, and a faster return to normal activities.
Recovery varies by patient and procedure, but many individuals experience shorter hospital stays and can return to light activities within a few weeks.
