Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide

Advantages of minimally invasive spinal surgery.

There are several advantages of minimally invasive spinal surgery over traditional spinal surgery, including:

• Reduced Pain and Scarring
  Minimally invasive spinal surgery uses smaller incisions than traditional spinal surgery, resulting in less pain and scarring after the procedure. Patients who undergo minimally invasive spinal surgery often experience less postoperative pain and require less pain medication than those who undergo traditional spinal surgery.
  
  
• Shorter Recovery Time
  Minimally invasive spinal surgery requires less recovery time than traditional spinal surgery. Patients can usually return to their normal activities sooner after the procedure, and the risk of complications is significantly reduced.
  
  
• Reduced Risk of Infection
  Minimally invasive spinal surgery reduces the risk of infection because the smaller incisions used in the procedure are less likely to become infected than larger incisions used in traditional spinal surgery. This reduces the risk of complications and results in a quicker recovery.
  
  
• Improved Accuracy and Precision
  Minimally invasive spinal surgery is more precise and accurate than traditional spinal surgery because it uses advanced imaging techniques to guide the surgeon’s movements. This results in a more successful outcome and a quicker recovery.
