Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Kansas

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a revolutionary approach to spinal procedures that aims to achieve surgical objectives with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This advanced technique has transformed the field of spinal surgery, offering patients a range of benefits, including reduced recovery times, smaller incisions, and decreased postoperative discomfort.

Some of the specific surgical procedures doctors use to treat problems with the spine include:

Lumbar Discectomy: Removal of herniated disc material causing nerve compression in the lower back.
Lumbar Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae in the lower back to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain.
Microdiscectomy: Targeted removal of a portion of a herniated disc to relieve pressure on spinal nerves.
Kyphoplasty/Vertebroplasty: Treatment for vertebral compression fractures, involving the injection of bone cement to stabilize the affected vertebrae.
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF): Fusion of lumbar vertebrae approached through the intervertebral disc space.
