MISS Endoscopy

Spinal Minimally Invasive Surgery (MISS) Endoscopy is an advanced procedure that uses a small camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments to treat spinal conditions with minimal damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. It is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve compression. This technique results in smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open spine surgery.

Symptoms

  • Chronic back or neck pain that does not improve with medication or therapy.
  • Radiating pain, tingling, or numbness in the arms, legs, or lower back due to nerve compression.
  • Weakness or loss of coordination in the limbs.
  • Difficulty walking or standing due to spinal issues.
  • Herniated discs or spinal stenosis symptoms, such as lower back pain and leg numbness.

Treatment

  1. Minimally Invasive Approach: A small incision is made, and a thin tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted.
  2. Real-time Imaging: The endoscope provides high-resolution images for precise navigation.
  3. Removal of Problematic Tissue: Surgeons use tiny instruments to remove herniated discs, bone spurs, or correct spinal abnormalities.
  4. Minimal Damage to Muscles and Tissues: Unlike open surgery, this technique avoids large cuts and muscle disruption.
  5. Faster Recovery: Smaller incisions result in less pain, minimal blood loss, and shorter recovery time.

Benefits of MISS Endoscopy

  • Minimally invasive with a faster recovery period.
  • Smaller incisions, reducing pain and scarring.
  • Lower risk of infection and complications.
  • Outpatient or short hospital stay.
  • Improved mobility and function after surgery.

MISS endoscopy is commonly used for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal tumors. If you have persistent back pain that does not respond to conservative treatments, consult a spine specialist to see if you are a candidate for MISS endoscopy.
