Why Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery is designed to reduce trauma to the body while maintaining the same level of surgical precision and effectiveness as traditional open surgery. Using specialized tools and imaging, our surgeons access the spine through small incisions—preserving muscle, reducing blood loss, and shortening your recovery time.

Benefits for NYC Patients:

  • Smaller scars and less tissue damage
  • Lower risk of infection and complications
  • Faster return to work and daily activities
  • Shorter hospital stays—often outpatient
  • Minimized need for post-op pain medication

In a fast-paced city like New York, MISS offers an efficient path to long-term relief—without putting life on hold.

Are You a Candidate for MISS?

MISS is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments like physical therapy or injections no longer provide adequate relief. It may be an option for NYC patients with:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowed spinal canal)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis or spinal instability
  • Compression fractures from trauma or osteoporosis
  • Spinal cysts or benign tumors
  • Scoliosis or abnormal spinal curvature

Our Midtown specialists use on-site imaging (MRI, X-ray, CT) and thorough evaluation to determine whether a minimally invasive procedure is appropriate for your specific condition.

Minimally Invasive Procedures Offered in Manhattan

At NYSI Manhattan, we use the latest MISS techniques to ensure optimal results and minimal disruption. Common procedures include:

  • Microdiscectomy – removal of herniated disc fragments
  • Laminectomy and foraminotomy – to relieve spinal nerve compression
  • Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty – to treat spinal compression fractures
  • Spinal fusion (MISS techniques) – to stabilize vertebrae
  • Spinal cord stimulator implants – for chronic nerve pain
  • Image-guided tumor or cyst removal

We often incorporate robotic navigation and intraoperative imaging to increase precision and patient safety.
