Detailed Description of Business Compared to its open-surgical counterpart, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) has many advantages. In MISS, the smaller incisions mean less trauma to the surrounding tissues and thus much less postoperative pain and a faster recovery. Patients generally enjoy shorter hospital stays and an earlier return to their usual activities. In addition, less muscle damage during these surgeries means that these patients lose less blood during surgery and have a decreased chance of infection. All these factors ultimately make the entire process of healing easier and more comfortable for patients undergoing minimally invasive spine procedures.
