Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS) is an advanced surgical approach designed to treat a wide range of spinal conditions with less tissue disruption and faster recovery.

MIS was first performed in the 1980s but has seen rapid advancements in recent years. Technological improvements have allowed spine surgeons to expand patient selection and treat an evolving range of spinal disorders, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, fractures, tumors, infections, instability, and spinal deformities.

The goal of MIS is to reduce tissue trauma and bleeding while improving the overall healing process. These procedures are designed to achieve effective surgical outcomes while minimizing damage to surrounding muscles and tissues, supporting a smoother and often faster recovery.
