Surgical treatment

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is faster, safer, and require less recovery time. Because of less trauma to the muscles, soft tissues and bone structure (compared to open procedures), the potential benefits are better cosmetic results, less blood loss, less injury to normal structures in the spine, lower rate of infection, faster recovery and less rehabilitation require Microdisectomy (procedure to remove part of herniated disc to relieve pressure caused by compressed spinal cords and nerves)
