Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced modern surgical technique designed to treat spinal conditions with smaller incisions, significantly less muscle damage, minimal blood loss, and faster postoperative recovery compared to traditional open spine surgery.
Traditional open spine surgery typically requires long incisions and cutting or retracting the large muscles supporting the back. MISS utilizes specialized tubular retractor systems, operative microscopes, and high-definition intraoperative navigation (such as 3D O-Arm navigation) to access the damaged spine directly through natural muscular planes.
Relieving severe nerve root compression and sciatic leg pain.
Decompressing narrowed spinal canals causing leg heaviness on walking.
Stabilizing slipped vertebrae with percutaneous MIS screw fixation.
Navigated excision and balloon kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty.
"With modern magnification, 3D O-Arm imaging, and neuromonitoring, minimally invasive spine surgery allows us to achieve complete nerve decompression with pinpoint precision while keeping the surrounding healthy anatomy untouched." — Dr. Siddharth Katkade
