What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)?

Minimally invasive procedures are performed through a tiny

incision in the skin with little impact to surrounding tissue.

This approach allows surgeons to successfully treat a variety

of spine-related problems with the least amount of tissue

disruption and with the same outcome as open surgeries.

How is it performed?

Conventional spine surgery requires a long incision and a

lengthy recovery period. Minimally invasive surgery, also

known as "keyhole" surgery, uses a series of small dilators

and an appropriate size tubular retractor through which

small instruments are passed and surgery is performed under

an Operating Microscope. Small surgical instruments may

then be passed through one ormore additional half-inch

incisions. Following the procedure, the small incisions are

closed with sutures and covered with surgical tape. After a

few months, they are barely visible.

Can MISS be performed on all patients?

No, it cannot be performed on all patients. Nor is it appropriate

for all patients. While the field of minimally invasive surgery is

changing rapidly, minimally invasive spine surgery can be

performed for:

?Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PIVD): also known as

herniated disc; slipped disc

?Lumbar spine stenosis: gradual narrowing of the spinal

column

?Spondylolisthesis: slipping of all or part of one vertebra

forward on another vertebra

?Degenerative scoliosis: gradual inability of the spine in

maintaining its normal shape

?Cervical foraminal stenosis: narrowing of the cervical

disc space

?Osteoporotic collapse: breakdown of a vertebra resulting

in a decreased height of its body

?Failed previous spine surgery

?A thorough evaluation is required by the treating

physician before the surgery.

What procedure can be performed using MISS?

?Microscopic discectomy: to decompress the spinal nerve

roots and spinal cord

?Minimally invasive lumbar laminectomy: to relieve

excess pressure on the spinal nerve(s) and spinal cord.

?Minimally invasive Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

(PLIF) and Tranforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion

(TLIF): joining or fusing of two or more vertebrae to

relieve nerve compression and associated back pain.

?Kyphoplasty: treating painful vertebral body

compression fractures associated with osteoporosis.

What are advantages of MISS?

Typically, MISS allows for the same outcomes as

conventional spine surgery. Benefits of minimally invasive

back surgery include:

?A few tiny scars instead of one large scar

?Shorter hospital stay - a few days instead of a week

?Reduced postoperative pain

?Shorter recovery time - a few days instead of weeks -

and quicker return to daily activities, including work.

When can I get back to work?

Typically after a conventional surgical procedure it takes 6-8

weeks but with MISS techniques, routine activities can be

started in 5 days and its back to work in 8 to 10 days.

?Vertebroplasty: relieve the pain of compression

fractures and strengthening vertebral bodies that are

weakened but not yet fractured

?Cervical foraminotomy: widening the area where the

spinal nerve roots exit the spinal column to relieve

pressure and thereby, pain.

?Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for fusion and

fractures

The Team

The team consists of a senior neurosurgeon,

orthopedic spine surgeon (trained in minimally

invasive spine procedures from USA), general

orthopedic surgeons, and pain management

specialists. Physiotherapists and counselors provide

additional support.

The operating rooms are equipped with operating

microscopes and the latest equipments.
