Minimally Invasive Spine Fixation

Used for spinal instability, minimally invasive spine fixation offers precise correction with reduced tissue damage

What is Minimally Invasive Spine Fixation?

It is a surgical technique that stabilizes the spine using specialized instruments and tools through small incisions. This method aims to reduce tissue damage, blood loss, and postoperative pain compared to traditional open spine surgery.

How it works:

Small incisions are made in the back.
Specialized instruments and retractors are inserted to access the spine.
Bone grafts and metal implants (screws, rods, plates) are used to stabilize the vertebrae.

Common conditions treated with Minimally Invasive Spine Fixation:

Spinal fractures
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal instability
Scoliosis (in some cases)

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Fixation:

Smaller incisions, leading to less scarring.
Reduced blood loss.
Faster recovery time.
Lower risk of infection.
Less postoperative pain.
Potential for earlier return to normal activities.
