New Jersey Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

At Gemini Spine, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is the foundation of what we do. These cutting-edge techniques allow us to fix what’s wrong—without the trauma of traditional open surgery.

What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

MISS refers to a collection of techniques that use:

• Small, targeted incisions
• Tubular retractors to gently separate muscle
• Microscopes or endoscopic cameras for high-resolution views
• Real-time imaging (fluoroscopy or navigation)

Instead of cutting through large sections of tissue, we work around it—preserving muscle, ligaments, and healthy bone.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Faster recovery – Most patients go home the same day
• Less pain – Minimal disruption to soft tissue
• Reduced blood loss and scarring
• Lower risk of infection or complications
• Quicker return to work or daily activities
  

Common Procedures We Perform Minimally Invasively

• Microdiscectomy
• Laminectomy
• Spinal fusion
• Decompression for nerve impingement
• Multilevel deformity correction

Our team will evaluate whether MISS is right for your specific condition—and in most cases, it is.
