Advances in medical technology mean many spinal procedures can now be performed as minimally invasive surgery.

The benefits of these techniques include:

  • Smaller surgical incisions
  • Reduced trauma to muscles and surrounding tissues
  • Reduced blood loss
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery
  • Decreased pain levels

Not all spinal procedures can be performed using these methods.
