Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery, also known as "keyhole" surgery is performed using an endoscope, which is inserted through small incisions (half-inch). The endoscope is connected to a tiny video camera which projects an "inside" view of the patient's body onto television screens in the operating room. Small surgical instruments may then be passed through one or more additional half-inch incisions.
