Recent developments in minimally invasive spine surgery
Over the past ten years, spine surgery in White Plains has seen groundbreaking advances, especially in minimally invasive treatments. The goal of these procedures is to minimize injury to tissues, decreasing the time it takes for a patient to recover and achieve positive results when compared with open surgery. Because of smaller incisions and less postoperative pain, however, patients recover faster, and so spine surgery is a viable option for many. Utilities, such as intraoperative navigation systems and real-time image guidance, help to guide a minimally invasive procedure along with the placement of surgical instruments. These advances have led to a marked reduction in the rates of complications and improvement success for interventions such as spinal fusion, disc replacement, or decompression procedures.
