What Is MIS Surgery?

The goal of MIS surgery is to stabilize the spine and vertebrae or to relieve pressure from the spinal nerves. Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal tumors, lumbar spinal stenosis, and scoliosis are often the cause of such pain. There are different types of MIS surgery treatment options including discectomy, spinal decompression, and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

What Are the Benefits of MIS Surgery?

One amazing benefit of MIS surgery that people love is the less recovery time. Recovery time is reduced because of the smaller skin incisions. You are also less likely to lose as much blood as you would during open surgery. Because of the small incisions, you are less likely to have a long rehabilitation period. Also, you are less likely to have a dependence on pain medications after surgery.

What Is the MIS Surgery Recovery Like?

The recovery time for minimally invasive spine surgery is about six weeks compared to the months it may take after open surgery. During the recovery period, you should stay away from your usual activities. What activities you can do is determined by Juris Shibayama, M.D., and is based on your overall health. However, be sure to avoid sudden twisting, long drives, or sitting and standing for long periods of time.
