What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

When people think about what surgery is, they tend to think of open surgery. In those situations, an incision is cut into the body, opening up a full view of the area in which a surgeon is carrying out the procedure. This is the most common form of surgery, but there’s been a considerable shift towards minimally invasive surgical procedures in recent years – and it’s proven itself to be a very fine alternative. A minimally invasive surgery is where surgeons use a variety of techniques to operate on the body without causing as much damage as happens with open surgery. Essentially, minimally invasive spine surgery means operating on the spine without negatively impacting the body whilst doing so.

Whether we’re completing a kyphoplasty, a lumbar fusion, or any other brand of spine surgery, you can rest assured that we’ve spend thousands of hours completing this work, refining our efficacy, and delivering excellent results to our patients. We have the leading spine surgery team in Boca Raton – and beyond – so you can rest assured that you’re going to receive treatment of the highest caliber.

Shorter Stays

One of the principal benefits of minimally invasive surgery is that you are usually required to spend much less time in hospital than with open surgery. The risk of infection is much higher with open surgery, and because the incision is more sizeable, the likelihood is that you won’t be able to move easily. With minimally invasive surgery, that isn’t the case. You can return to the comfort of your home much more quickly.

Faster Recoveries

Since you’ll only be experiencing a lightly invasive procedure with our services, the chances of a quick recovery are much greater. It isn’t just that you’ll be back on your feet more quickly either, however, it’s also that you’ll experience much less pain during the recovery period as well.
