Treatment introduction
MIS treats spinal disorders through small skin incisions. In contrast to conventional open spine surgery, MIS minimizes trauma to soft tissues, muscles, and the spine. Because of this, MIS is characterized by the following benefits:
* Reduced blood loss
* Reduced muscle and bone injury
* Better preservation of spinal structural integrity
* Reduced postoperative wound pain
* Less need for pain relief medications after surgery
* Early ambulation after surgery
* Faster postoperative recovery and shorter hospital stay
* Reduced risk of wound infection
* Early resumption of work
* Reduced risk of future adjacent segment degeneration (following fusion surgery)
