Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery (MILSS) distinguishes itself from traditional open spinal procedures by employing significantly smaller incisions. Unlike standard surgery, which often requires a lengthy cut to expose the surgical site, Minimally Invasive Lumbar Spine Surgery utilizes specialized instruments and real-time imaging to navigate through small skin punctures, typically less than two inches long. This approach minimizes the disruption to surrounding muscles and soft tissues, which are often pushed aside rather than cut. Consequently, patients frequently experience reduced post-operative pain, less blood loss, a lower risk of infection, and a quicker recovery period, enabling a faster return to their daily activities compared to conventional open back surgery.
