Minimally Invasive Surgery
Gentle Intervention
Minimally invasive spine surgery is a broad term encompassing several modern techniques (microdiscectomy, microdecompression, minimally invasive fusion). These approaches utilize small incisions, tubular dilators, surgical microscopes, and 3D navigation systems, allowing precise access to the affected area with minimal damage to surrounding muscles and tissues.
It is indicated for herniated discs, stenosis, minor instabilities, and some deformities. Compared to open surgery, it offers less pain, less bleeding, and faster recovery.
Inpatient treatment: 1–3 days.
Weeks 1–2: Walking and light activities.
Weeks 3–6: Progressive physiotherapy.
Months 3–6: Return to full routine.
