For years, spine surgery was associated with long hospital stays and significant recovery times. However, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) has revolutionized how we treat back and neck pain. By focusing on smaller incisions and faster recovery, this advanced technique is helping patients in Jaipur return to their daily lives sooner than ever.
Unlike traditional "open" surgery, where a long incision is made to pull back muscle and tissue, MISS uses specialized instruments to access the spine through tiny openings. This approach minimizes damage to the surrounding muscles and reduces blood loss, making the procedure much safer and more efficient.
MISS is typically recommended when conservative treatments—like physical therapy or medication—fail to provide relief. Common conditions treated include:
Herniated Discs: Slipped discs causing sharp leg or arm pain.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear of spinal cushions.
Spondylolisthesis: When one vertebra slips over another.
Common Symptoms: Persistent back pain, numbness in limbs, weakness in legs, or "sciatica" (radiating nerve pain).
The surgery is performed using a tubular retractor. This tool is inserted into a small incision, creating a tunnel to the problem area. The surgeon then uses high-resolution microscopes or endoscopes to perform the repair.
The Result: Less muscle scarring and significantly reduced post-operative pain.
Priyush Hospital stands out as a center of excellence for spine health in Rajasthan. Here is why:
