Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery NJ

Among the advantages of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) over open spine surgery are the reduced incision size and less trauma inflicted on the surrounding muscles and soft tissues. Because of less tissue disruption, there tends to be less postoperative pain, which may reduce the amount of pain medication required and speed up recovery. Generally, patients undergoing MISS spend less time in the hospital and recover rapidly on their feet. Further, the smaller the incision, the less blood loss during the surgery and, therefore, less chance of infection and scarring. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery NJ seeks to achieve an ultimately similar goal as open surgery but takes a gentle approach that favors patient comfort, rapid healing, and better long-term results.
