Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive techniques can address common conditions such as herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and certain types of scoliosis. They may also be used for procedures like spinal fusion, decompression, and discectomy, depending on individual patient needs.
How do I know if I am a candidate for minimally invasive surgery?
Candidacy varies by individual. Our doctors will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the cause and extent of your spinal condition, factoring in your overall health, lifestyle, and personal preferences. If a minimally invasive approach can effectively address your issue, it is often recommended.
Will I experience less pain during and after minimally invasive surgery?
Yes. Because these procedures involve smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissues, patients often report reduced post-operative pain and discomfort compared to traditional open surgery. Additionally, recovery times are typically shorter, with many patients resuming routine activities more quickly.
How long does it take to recover from a minimally invasive spine procedure?
Recovery varies based on the complexity of the surgery and individual patient factors. Some patients return to their daily activities within a few weeks. Our medical team will create a personalized rehabilitation plan to optimize your recovery and help prevent future issues.
Are there any risks associated with minimally invasive spine surgery?
As with any surgery, there are potential risks, including infection, nerve damage, or complications related to anesthesia. However, minimally invasive techniques generally have a lower risk profile compared to traditional open surgeries due to fewer disruptions to surrounding tissues.
