Spine Surgery
Spine surgery has traditionally been performed as "open surgery." In order for the surgeon to view and access the anatomy, the area being operated on is opened with a lengthy incision. But in recent years, technological developments have made it possible to treat more neck and back conditions with minimally invasive surgical methods.
Minimally invasive spine surgery is also known as less invasive spine surgery. In these procedures, doctors access the spine through tiny incisions using specialized instruments.
