Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a versatile approach commonly employed to treat a range of debilitating spinal conditions that cause persistent back and leg pain, numbness, or weakness. A primary indication is herniated discs, where a disc presses on nerves, leading to radiculopathy or sciatica. Equally common is its use in treating spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing neurogenic claudication. Furthermore, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in NJ techniques address degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis, conditions characterized by disc wear and tear or vertebral slippage, respectively, which can lead to instability and persistent pain requiring fusion or decompression. It also finds application in specific cases involving spinal tumors, infections, or fractures when targeted decompression and stabilization are required, all with the goal of alleviating nerve compression, stabilizing the spine, and restoring function with reduced surgical trauma.
