Endoscopic and Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery in Florida

 

Endoscopic Spine Surgery (ESS): Endoscopic spine surgery is an advanced, state-of-the-art form of minimally invasive spine surgery. During an endoscopic procedure, the surgeon makes a small stab incision (the size of a pencil) through which a guided wire is inserted. The guide wire is used to locate the damaged part of your spine. A fluoroscope (specially designed X-ray machine) is used to ensure the correct path is made to the affected spinal area in order to treat the condition. 

 

ESS is used to treat back pain and sciatica caused by disc herniations, spinal arthritis and stenosis, and designed to provide you with a quicker recovery time and less recurring pain than traditional spine surgery methods. ESS also can help preserve normal range of spine mobility post-operatively.  Advancements in surgical technology now allow for spinal fusions to be performed using the endoscope.

 

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Minimally invasive spine surgery is an alternative to traditional open-spine surgical procedures. MISS uses smaller incisions than open-spine surgery. This often causes less harm to nearby muscles and other tissues. It can lead to less pain and faster recovery after surgery.

 

It is used to treat different spinal disorders, such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis. Spine surgery performed minimally invasively offers many potential benefits, such as small incisions, less cutting through soft tissues (eg, ligaments, muscles), outpatient options, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery.
