Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Scoliosis
Aug 5th, 2025 at 5:35am
 
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS) for scoliosis represents a modern surgical approach that suggestively differs from conventional open spine surgery for correcting abnormal spinal curvatures. Rather than a long incision and extensive muscle dissection, MIS uses small incisions (often just a few centimeters), specialized tubular retractors to create a narrow working channel, and sophisticated imaging or navigation guidance. This approach aims to minimize trauma to surrounding muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues, leading to reduced blood loss, less post-operative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster recovery period compared to traditional methods. When applied to scoliosis—a complex three-dimensional curvature of the spine— Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Scoliosis techniques allow surgeons to perform corrective procedures, such as spinal fusion, vertebral body tethering, or instrumented correction, through these smaller access points, essentially seeking to achieve the same fundamental goals of curve correction, stabilization, and deformity management with significantly less collateral damage to the patient's body.
