Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical approach designed to treat various spinal conditions with reduced disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open procedures, MISS involves smaller incisions and the use of specialized instruments, such as endoscopes and microscopes, to access and treat the affected area of the spine. This technique aims to minimize muscle and tissue damage, decrease postoperative pain, and expedite recovery times. Common conditions treated with MISS include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal instability. Procedures may involve decompression, fusion, or the removal of problematic tissue. While not suitable for all spinal conditions, MISS offers the advantage of smaller scars, reduced blood loss, and potentially shorter hospital stays.
