About Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

January 11, 2016

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses state of the art techniques and instrumentation to treat spine problems and help patients recover in a shorter period of time. Innovative technological advances and developments have established minimally invasive methods for surgeons to access the spine with less injury to surrounding muscles and therefore be able to better treat several different back and neck conditions.

In minimally invasive spine surgery, a very small incision is made to avoid significant damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. A shorter incision means that surgeons are not cutting through as much muscle and tissue to get to the affected area. Extensively trained neurosurgeons will insert specialized surgical instruments through these small incisions to access the damaged area of the spine. Through minimally invasive spine surgery, both entry and repair of the damaged discs or vertebrae are achieved without harming nearby muscles or tissues. The technologies and specialized tools used by spine surgeons in minimally invasive spine surgery can accomplish identical results as open spine surgery, but with significantly less pain and recovery time.

Minimally invasive spine surgery provides many benefits for qualifying patients for both the procedure and recovery. The smaller incisions used will lead to less damage to tissue and muscles and less blood loss. Minimally invasive spine surgery will also leave the patient with a smaller scar and less pain, both post-operative and during recovery. Some minimally invasive spine surgery patients can even have their surgery performed as an outpatient procedure.

Dr. Shaad Bidiwala of Texas Minimally Invasive Spine, along with his staff, share the ultimate goal of relieving qualifying patients’ pain symptoms through the least invasive means possible. Dr. Bidiwala is committed to combining compassionate care and cutting-edge technology to treat even the most difficult spinal and neurosurgical problems. Dr. Bidiwala has had extensive training and almost a decade of experience, and he strongly believes in the advantages of minimally invasive spine surgery for his patients. If you or a loved one suffers from a painful back or neck condition, contact Texas Minimally Invasive Spine to schedule a thorough consultation with one of Dallas’ leading neurosurgeons. Not all conditions will qualify for minimally invasive spine surgery, but Dr. Bidiwala has the knowledge to help determine the best solution for you.
