Benefits of Spine Microsurgery

The main benefits of spine microsurgery are:

• Less invasive
• Less painful than traditional open spine surgery
• Potential for faster recovery times
• Fewer complications
• Less scarring

The Spine Microsurgery Procedure

During the procedure, the surgeon must be extremely precise in order to avoid damaging any of the surrounding tissues. This is why spine microsurgery is only performed by highly experienced surgeons. Spine microsurgery usually requires the surgeon to make a very small incision in the back, and then use a microscope to look at the affected area. The surgeon will then use a series of small instruments, such as titanium screws and rods, to access and treat the problem.
