Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in NYC

What is minimally invasive spine surgery?

Minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) is a type of back surgery performed through small incisions. This less invasive type of spinal procedure is done with a specialized hollow tube known as a tubular retractor. The spine surgeon uses this tool to visualize and treat the targeted spine area. This results in less trauma being caused to the nearby muscles and surrounding tissue.

When the tube-shaped tool is inserted into the small incision, it gently pushes aside the muscle and soft tissue, creating a tunnel to the problem area of the spine. This enables the spine surgeon to insert small tools through the retractor and work on your spine. During the entire minimally invasive spine surgery, a special operating X-ray is used (fluoroscopy) that provides the doctor with real-time images of your spine.

This less invasive back surgery technique gives your surgeon great precision to repair and treat the targeted area. Another advantage it has over standard surgery is less pain and faster recovery times after surgery. MISS can be used for various types of spine surgery.
