That’s because this innovative, cutting-edge technique can offer faster recovery times, less scarring, and less pain and discomfort.
Minimal Access Spinal Technologies
The surgery is performed with smaller cuts (sometimes just a few millimeters long) on the skin. Then, a long, thin tube with a mini-camera (this is called an endoscope) is used to get a clear image of the surgical area.
Key Benefits
- Quicker recovery and return back to activities
- Smaller surgical incisions
- Less post operative pain
- Less soft tissue damage
