What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

MISS uses advanced imaging and specialized instruments to treat spinal problems through small incisions—minimizing muscle disruption, reducing blood loss, and shortening hospital stays. These techniques are as effective as traditional open surgery but with significantly less trauma to the body.

Benefits for Long Island Patients:

  • Less pain after surgery
  • Smaller scars and quicker recovery
  • Reduced risk of infection
  • Outpatient or short hospital stay
  • Faster return to work, driving, and daily life

In a community that values mobility and independence, MISS offers a modern solution for long-term spine relief—without the extended downtime.

Who’s a Candidate for Minimally Invasive Surgery?

MISS is ideal for patients whose symptoms haven’t improved with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medications. It’s commonly used to treat:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis or vertebral slippage
  • Compression fractures due to trauma or osteoporosis
  • Benign spinal tumors or cysts
  • Scoliosis or spinal curvature disorders

At NYSI Commack, we use imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) and a detailed clinical exam to confirm your diagnosis and determine if MISS is right for you.
