Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS)

Minimally invasive surgery is a set of procedures that takes advantage of natural corridors of the body, and due to the small size of the incisions, the means used and the microsurgery techniques, they produce less damage to the tissues that support the spine, so they considerably reduce complications and patients have a faster recovery compared to traditional techniques..

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

• Less trauma to the supporting organs of the spine
• Less bleeding
• Less scar tissue formation
• Less postoperative pain
• Faster patient mobilization after surgery
• Faster recovery time
• Less time spent in the hospita
• Quick return to normal life (personal and professional)

To perform MISS surgery successfully it is necessary

• To know very well the anatomy of the spine
• Skillfull mangement of microsurgery and/or endoscopic surgery techniques
• Have the appropriate technology: microscope, endoscope, tubular work ports, specific instruments, prostheses designed to implant via minimally invasive access, X-ray equipment in the operating room
