Minimal Access Spinal Technology
With The Advent Of Minimal Access Spinal Technologies (MAST™), Spine Surgeons Are Now Able To Remove Herniated Intervertebral Discs In The Lumbar Spine That Are Putting Pressure On The Spinal Nerve Roots And Causing Pain, In A Minimally Invasive Fashion For The First Time.
Minimally invasive technologies
Minimally invasive technologies also are allowing spine surgeons to stabilize the posterior aspect of the spine with smaller incisions and less damage to the ligaments, fascia, and muscles of the spine than with a traditional “open” posterior spinal fusion. This minimally invasive revolution has impacted virtually every surgical field. In the case of lumbar discectomy, the primary objective is to decompress the affected nerve root. The compressed nerve must be left fully decompressed and freely mobile. This may require extensive bony decompression, nerve root manipulation, and/or removal of herniated nucleus pulposus.
