What is Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS), also known as minimally invasive spine surgery or minimally invasive spinal procedures, is a surgical approach used to treat various spinal conditions with less disruption to the surrounding tissues compared to traditional open surgery. The goal of MISS is to achieve the same therapeutic outcomes while minimising trauma, reducing pain, shortening recovery times, and lowering the risk of complications associated with open surgeries.
