Minimally invasive spine surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery techniques involve smaller incisions, which typically result in less pain, reduced blood loss, and lower risk of infection. Patients often experience a quick recovery and can return to normal activities sooner as well. Another key benefit is that it minimizes disruption to the surrounding muscles and tissues. By using specialized instruments and advanced imaging, surgeons can access the spine through small openings, avoiding large muscle groups. While not every patient is a candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery, those who are may find it to be more efficient when relieving their symptoms and improving their quality of life.
