Laparoscopic Spine Surgery, also known as Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), is a modern surgical technique used to treat various spinal conditions with smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open spine surgery. Here’s an overview of the procedure, benefits, risks, and conditions it can treat:
What is Laparoscopic Spine Surgery?
Laparoscopic techniques involve the use of a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera and light) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions. The surgeon views the surgical area on a monitor in real-time, allowing for precise and minimally invasive procedures.
Conditions Treated with Laparoscopic Spine Surgery
🔸 Herniated Discs: Repair or removal of damaged discs pressing on nerves.
🔸 Spinal Stenosis: Decompression of narrowed spinal canals.
🔸 Degenerative Disc Disease: Stabilization or fusion of degenerated discs.
🔸 Scoliosis or Spinal Deformities: Correction of abnormal spinal curvature.
🔸 Spinal Fractures: Stabilization of fractured vertebrae.
🔸 Tumors or Infections: Removal of tumors or infected tissue in the spine.
Who is a Candidate?
◾ Patients with specific spinal conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments (e.g., physical therapy, medications).
◾ Those in good overall health without severe obesity or advanced spinal deformities.
Laparoscopic Spine Surgery is a safe and effective option for many spinal conditions, offering faster recovery and fewer complications than traditional open surgery. If you’re considering this procedure, consult a spine specialist to determine if it’s the right choice for your condition.
