At Vardhman Neurospine and Orthopedic Hospital, we specialize in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)—an advanced surgical approach designed to treat spine conditions with precision, minimal disruption, and a faster recovery time. Traditional spine surgery often requires large incisions, which can lead to more pain, a longer hospital stay, and an extended recovery. In contrast, minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced technology, resulting in less trauma to the body and a quicker return to daily life.

Led by Dr. Vardan Kulshreshtha, an experienced neurosurgeon and spine specialist, our team is skilled in using MISS techniques to treat a variety of spine issues, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. With his expertise in neurosurgery and spinal care, Dr. Kulshreshtha tailors each procedure to the unique needs of the patient, focusing on achieving the best possible outcomes.

What is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery involves making small incisions and using specialized instruments and imaging technology to access the spine. Unlike traditional spine surgery, which may require cutting through muscles and tissues, MISS allows for less impact on surrounding structures, which means:

• Less Pain: Reduced trauma to muscles and tissues often results in less post-operative pain.
• Shorter Hospital Stay: Many patients are able to go home the same day or shortly after surgery.
• Faster Recovery: With smaller incisions, healing is typically quicker, allowing patients to return to their normal activities sooner.
• Reduced Scarring: Smaller incisions lead to minimal scarring and a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

MISS is a preferred option for many spine conditions because it combines effective results with a gentle approach. Some key benefits include:

• Precision and Accuracy: Advanced imaging techniques allow our surgeons to target the affected area with great accuracy, ensuring better outcomes.
• Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced tissue disruption often leads to a lower risk of infection and other complications.
• Better Quality of Life: With reduced pain, less scarring, and quicker recovery, patients can enjoy a better quality of life following the procedure.
