Minimally Invasive
Spine Surgery and
its Benefits

• Minimally invasive spine surgery is a
new trend in the field of surgery that uses
technology. The procedure involves use of
highly developed devices to exactly locate
the site upon which a surgeon intends to
perform surgery. He/she can also gain
access to the targeted site with great ease.

• As the name suggests, minimally invasive
spine surgery is performed through
smaller incisions. The incisions are so
small (usually less than an inch) that
damage or injury to the organs closer to
the surgery site is avoided.

• Minimally invasive spine surgery is
performed using an arthroscope. It is a
long hollow tube fitted with camera, light
source and fiber optic lens inside. With the
quick realization of improved patient
outcomes and comparatively lower
hospital costs, the option to use minimally
invasive spine surgery has been increasing
among patients.

• The benefits of minimally invasive spine
surgeries are as follows:
• Minimized tissue trauma
• Less damage to skin and muscles
• Less blood loss
• Smaller scars
• Higher Accuracy Rate

• Diminished pain, fatigue, and other
symptoms
• Reduced post operative pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker and easier rehabilitation
• Faster return to normal activities.
