What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical approach that uses small
incisions,
specialized instruments, and real-time imaging to treat spine problems with minimal tissue
damage.
This technique helps reduce pain, blood loss, hospital stay, and recovery time.
Dr. Ashwinkumar Khandge is highly trained in tubular, microendoscopic, and
navigation-guided minimally invasive spine procedures, ensuring precise and safe spine care.
Conditions Treated with Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery:
- Herniated or bulging disc
- Lumbar and cervical
spondylosis
- Spinal stenosis (narrow
spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Nerve compression causing
back or leg pain
- Instability requiring fusion
How Dr. Khandge Performs MISS Procedures:
- Detailed Diagnostic Evaluation: MRI and spine assessment to plan the
procedure.
- Small Incision Approach: Use of tubular retractors or endoscopic
access.
- Real-Time Visualization: Operating with microscopic or endoscopic
guidance.
- Targeted Treatment: Removing disc material, decompressing nerves, or
stabilizing the spine.
- Minimal Tissue Disturbance: No major cutting of muscles or ligaments.
- Early Mobilization: Most patients can walk the same or next day.
