Advanced Spine Surgery Without the Hospital Stay
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.
