What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

MISS uses high-resolution imaging and specially designed instruments to perform spine procedures through small incisions. This approach preserves muscle and soft tissue, reduces surgical trauma, and promotes a smoother, faster healing process compared to traditional open surgery.

Key Benefits:

  • Less post-operative pain
  • Smaller scars and less visible impact
  • Faster return to daily activities and work
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Shorter hospital stays or outpatient recovery

MISS allows you to move forward with fewer disruptions—an ideal option for active New Jerseyans looking for long-term spine relief.

Conditions We Treat with MISS

Minimally invasive spine surgery may be recommended for patients whose symptoms haven’t improved with physical therapy, injections, or medication. At NYSI Wayne, we treat conditions such as:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Vertebral compression fractures
  • Benign spinal tumors
  • Scoliosis or spinal deformities

Your candidacy is determined through a full clinical exam and imaging review, ensuring the most precise and effective care plan.
