I believe in getting my patients back to a normal quality of life as quickly as possible. Most commonly, this means performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to lessen tissue damage and reduce blood loss, which results in reduced post-operative pain, and as a result, faster recovery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) can be used in many spine procedures. MIS procedures are performed through small incisions which can have the following benefits:
- Less tissue damage
- A faster recovery time
- Reduction in blood loss
- Reduces pain
- Less scarring
- Lower infection rate due to smaller incisions
MIS Surgeries Performed Include:
- Cervical Spine Fusion
- Lumbar Fusion
- Microdiscectomy
- Laminectomy
