Minimally invasive spine surgery

In recent years, minimally invasive surgical procedures have become widespread in the field of brain and neurosurgery, as in every field.Particularly in spine surgery, minimally invasive surgical techniques have become more preferred in the last 20 years.The most important principle of minimally invasive spine surgery is to minimize damage to the soft tissue surrounding the spine during surgery.This means faster recovery with less soft tissue damage and shorter hospital stay.With minimally invasive surgical techniques, soft tissue damage and postoperative pain decrease, hospitalization time decreases, patient mobilization occurs earlier, the amount of bleeding during surgery decreases, the risk of infection after surgery decreases, economic costs decrease, and a more aesthetic appearance and appearance are achieved due to minimal incisions.Patients are allowed to return to their normal lives earlier.Over the last twenty years, minimally invasive spine surgical approaches have been described for every area of the spine and have begun to be used as a surgical option.Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery has many advantages, such as reduced postoperative pain, reduced blood loss and infection risk, and reduced hospital stay.Through experience, minimally invasive spine surgery can be used for most degenerative spine diseases.The techniques and surgical instruments used for minimally invasive spine surgery are slightly different from traditional open procedures.A certain learning curve should be expected once you begin performing minimally invasive spine surgery procedures.
