Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, also called MISS, Endoscopic Spine Surgery and Arthroscopic Spine Surgery are surgical procedures that are performed to correct spinal pathologies to relieve the patient’s pain. Uncontrollable and unmanageable neck and back pain are the biggest indicators for spinal surgery. Spine disorders usually occur due to nerve compression. In spine surgery, the surgeon relieves this pressure by correcting the structural abnormalities in the spine. Postural abnormalities and trauma are the biggest contributors to these structural abnormalities.
At Pristyn Care, you can consult the best orthopedic surgeons in Visakhapatnam to seek treatment for all kinds of spinal disorders for successful relief from neck and back pain.
Treatment
Diagnosis of Spinal Abnormalities
Spinal abnormalities mostly involve abnormal interactions between the soft and hard tissue components of the spine. Normally, the spine is structurally balanced for maximum flexibility and support. However, if the spinal curvature is disturbed, it causes spinal pain. This is called sagittal imbalance. The best way to diagnose spinal deformities is via the following imaging techniques:
Treatment for Spinal Abnormalities
The biggest indicator of spinal deformities is chronic back and neck pain. Therefore, the first course of treatment in the initial stages of the condition is medical management with physiotherapy. The patient can try a variety of anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids and other pain medications to reduce the pain before starting physical therapy to correct of the spinal deformity.
Spine surgery becomes necessary if the above non-surgical management fails to provide pain relief to the patient. The main goal behind the surgery is to stabilize the spine and relieve pressure on the compressed nerves. MISS includes a variety of surgical techniques such as:

We offer follow-up consultations with the surgeon and provide instructions for post-surgery care including dietary and exercise tips to our patients to ensure they have a smooth recovery.
After spine surgery, you will start feeling relief from the pain within 3-4 weeks after the surgery. The nerve pain is reduced immediately after the surgery, but postoperative pain diminishes slowly as the incision heals. This recovery period is much shorter in minimally invasive surgeries than open spine surgeries.
Even after spine surgery, you will need pain management and physiotherapy to ensure long-lasting pain relief from the surgery. For minimally invasive spine surgeries, the recovery time is about 6 weeks, while for open surgeries, it is about 3-4 months.
For minimally invasive spine surgery, you can resume your normal activities within 6-8 weeks, including bending, lifting and twisting movements. However, some spine surgeries like fusion procedures may take much longer depending on the location and severity of the condition.
No. You will have to wear a back brace for a little while after surgery, depending on the nature of the surgery and the patient’s condition. For laminectomy and discectomy procedures, you can stop wearing a brace two weeks after the surgery, while you might have to wear a brace for up to 3 months after fusion surgery.
Rehabilitation and physiotherapy for recovery after spine surgery begins right after you are discharged from the hospital. Your rehabilitation period may last 4-6 weeks or even longer, depending on the severity of the condition and the nature of the surgery performed.

Some spine problems are present at birth, but as the baby grows, they become more apparent, like congenital scoliosis, while some are diagnosed in a prenatal ultrasound itself, like osteoporosis. In severe cases, the baby might even need scoliosis surgery immediately.
