What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

MISS is a surgical approach that uses small incisions, advanced imaging, and specialized tools to treat spinal conditions with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. The goal is to reduce pain, speed up recovery, and lower your risk of complications—without compromising surgical precision.

Benefits of MISS for Queens Patients:

  • Minimal scarring and smaller incisions
  • Reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays
  • Faster return to work and daily activity
  • Less need for post-op pain medication
  • Lower risk of infection or complications

In a borough as active and diverse as Queens, MISS offers patients a smoother path to lasting relief.

Conditions Treated with MISS

You may be a candidate for MISS if non-surgical options like physical therapy or injections haven’t resolved your symptoms. At NYSI Queens, we treat:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowed spinal canal)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
  • Spinal compression fractures
  • Spinal cysts or tumors
  • Scoliosis or abnormal curvature

Our team uses diagnostics including MRI, X-ray, and CT imaging to create a personalized treatment plan based on your condition and lifestyle.
