Texas Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery | Dr. Shaad Bidiwala

Minimally invasive spine surgery is about more than just the size of an incision.

Studies show that the paraspinal muscles contribute over 50% to the overall strength of the neck and the back, making them instrumental to recovery after spine surgery. Yet in most traditional surgical approaches to the spine, these muscles are painfully disrupted or peeled away from the portions of the spine they support.

Minimally invasive spine surgery is about approaching the spine through natural tissue planes with minimal disruption of these muscles, leading to shorter hospital stays and overall recovery times.

Dr. Bidiwala has been using minimally invasive technologies for spinal decompression and fusion operations since beginning his practice in Dallas in 2004. In addition, he has added several new technologies and approaches to his armamentarium as they have arisen in the years since. The result is that each patient is offered a customized minimally invasive approach depending on his or her anatomy, symptoms , and pathology.
