Minimally invasive surgery is quickly becoming the method of choice for combating neurological disorders that demand surgical treatment. Typically resulting in less pain, scarring and recovery time than traditional surgery, minimally invasive procedures also generally incur lower heath-care costs.

Minimally invasive spinal surgery can be used to treat a variety of painful back ailments like the ones shown above. With quicker ecovery times, less pain and fewer post-operative infections, minimally invasive procedures are on the cutting edge of spinal health and wellness.
Also known as minimal access spine surgery and endoscopic surgery, minimally invasive spine surgeries are designed to produce the same results as traditional operations, but are made with smaller incisions and minimal cutting of muscle. Specially designed instruments called tubular retractors pair with endoscopes, or small cameras, are inserted through fingernail-sized incisions allowing surgeons the ability to see the spine with minimal cutting.
Minimally invasive surgery often results in fewer post-operative infections and complications, resulting in better long-term results for patients. The surgery is generally performed in a matter of hours, and only in extreme cases require hospital stays of more than a few days. As a leader in procedure and research throughout the country, Michigan Head and Spine Institute is uniquely positioned on the cutting edge of minimally invasive surgery.
