Spine conditions can significantly impact your quality of life, causing pain, limited mobility, and reduced productivity. The advent of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) has transformed the treatment landscape, offering patients faster recovery and improved outcomes.
 
Dr. Shrikant Dalal, a leading expert in Robotic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Orthos Orthopedic and Spine Centre, Hinjewadi, Pune, shares insights on how MISS is reshaping spine care.
 
 
 
 
What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a modern surgical approach that uses small incisions and advanced tools to treat spine conditions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open surgery, MISS focuses on precision and reduced patient trauma.
 
Conditions Treated with MISS
Dr. Dalal highlights several spine conditions effectively treated using minimally invasive techniques:
  • Herniated Discs: Repair or removal of bulging discs causing nerve compression.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Relieving pressure on spinal nerves.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Stabilizing affected spinal segments.
  • Spinal Fractures: Fixation or stabilization of fractured vertebrae.
  • Spinal Infections and Tumors: Precise removal of affected tissue.
  • Spinal Deformities: Addressing mild to moderate scoliosis or kyphosis.
Advantages of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
MISS offers several benefits over traditional open spine surgery:
1. Smaller Incisions
  • Reduces scarring and cosmetic concerns.
  • Less damage to muscles and surrounding tissues.
2. Reduced Pain
  • Minimal tissue disruption leads to less postoperative discomfort.
3. Faster Recovery
  • Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities.
4. Lower Risk of Complications
  • Reduced chances of infections and blood loss.
5. Precise Targeting
  • Advanced imaging ensures accurate treatment of the affected area.
How is MISS Performed?
1. Advanced Imaging: Techniques like fluoroscopy or intraoperative CT scans guide the surgeon during the procedure.
 
2. Specialized Tools: Small instruments and tubular retractors allow the surgeon to access the spine without cutting through muscles extensively.
 
3. Robotic Assistance: Dr. Dalal integrates robotic systems for enhanced precision, especially in complex cases.
 
4. Types of MISS Procedures
  • Discectomy: Removal of herniated disc material.
  • Spinal Fusion: Stabilizing vertebrae with implants or grafts.
  • Laminectomy: Relieving nerve compression by removing part of the vertebra.
Who Can Benefit from MISS?
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is suitable for patients with:
  • Chronic back or neck pain due to specific spine conditions.
  • Symptoms not improving with conservative treatments like physiotherapy or medications.
  • A need for a quicker recovery due to professional or personal commitments.
Post-Surgery Care and Recovery
Dr. Dalal ensures a holistic recovery process for his patients, which includes:
  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening spine-supporting muscles.
  • Pain Management: Medications and guidance for managing post-surgery discomfort.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Advice on posture, ergonomics, and exercises to prevent recurrence.
