Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Kharadi – Advanced Back Care, Pune

When spine surgery becomes necessary, today’s advanced medical technology allows for safer and faster recovery options. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) offers a modern alternative to traditional open procedures. It uses small incisions and specialized instruments to treat spinal problems while minimizing pain, tissue damage, and recovery time.

At Dr. Ambarish Mathesul’s Spine Clinic in Kharadi, patients benefit from advanced minimally invasive techniques combined with years of surgical expertise and compassionate care.

What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a specialized technique designed to correct spine problems through very small incisions — often less than 2 cm long.

Instead of cutting through large muscles and tissues, the surgeon carefully separates them using a tubular retractor and visualizes the surgical site with an endoscope or microscope

Common Procedures Performed Using MISS

  • Lumbar and Cervical Discectomy
  • Lumbar and Cervical Laminectomy
  • Spinal Fusion (Lumbar / Cervical)
  • Endoscopic Decompression for Herniated Disc
  • Minimally Invasive Stabilization with Screws and Rods 

These techniques are performed using advanced tools and high-definition imaging, ensuring accuracy, minimal scarring, and faster healing.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

 

Minimally invasive procedures offer several advantages compared to traditional open spine surgery:

  • Smaller incisions – reduced scarring and better cosmetic results
  • Less tissue and muscle damage – preserves surrounding structures
  • Less blood loss – safer procedure with quicker healing
  • Reduced postoperative pain – minimal use of heavy painkillers
  • Shorter hospital stay – most patients go home within 24–48 hours
  • Faster recovery – return to daily activities in just a few weeks
  • Smaller wounds heal more quickly, reducing the risk of infection.
  • Improved precision – aided by high-definition imaging and navigation tools

Who Can Benefit from MISS

You may be a good candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery if you suffer from:

  • Herniated or slipped disc
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
  • Sciatica or nerve compression pain
  • Failed previous back surgery (in selected cases)

Your spine surgeon will review your MRI scans, medical history, and symptoms to decide if MISS is the best treatment for you.

Step-by-Step Overview

  1. Anesthesia & Positioning
    You’ll receive anesthesia and be positioned carefully to access the spine.
  2. Small Incision
    A tiny incision (usually 1–2 cm) is made near the affected area.
  3. Accessing the Spine
    Using a tubular retractor, the surgeon gently separates the muscles and inserts an endoscope or microscope for a clear view.
  4. Performing the Surgery
    The damaged disc or bone is removed, nerves are decompressed, or fusion hardware is inserted as needed.
  5. Closure & Recovery
    The incision is closed with sutures or medical glue. Because there is less muscle damage, most patients start walking the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is typically faster and more comfortable compared to traditional spine surgery.

  • Hospital stay: 1–2 days
  • Return to work: usually within 3–6 weeks (depending on the type of surgery)
  • Pain management: mild painkillers are usually sufficient
    Physiotherapy: starts within a few days to regain strength and flexibility
  • Lifestyle advice: maintain posture, exercise regularly, and avoid lifting heavy weights
