In this video, Dr. Webb walks viewers through a patient who presented to his office with back/leg pain and successfully underwent a MITR.
When compared to the more traditional open surgery done with really long incisions, minimally invasive spine surgery approaches can be faster, safer, and require less recovery time. Many times, the surgery can be done using incisions several millimeters or less.
Because of the reduced damage to the muscles and soft tissues during surgery, surgeries performed with MIS techniques can:
1. Have better cosmetic results because the incisions are smaller
2. Less scar tissue
3. Less blood loss
4. Less time under anesthesia
5. Reduced risk of muscle damage (since no cutting of the muscle is done and instead the muscle is moved to the side).
6. Faster recovery
7. Less rehabilitation is required
