Minimally invasive spine surgery: 7 game-changing benefits

A continuación descubrirás los 7 beneficios clave que están catapultando la MIS como el nuevo estándar de oro en cirugía de columna. Prepárate para entender por qué miles de pacientes ya exigen este enfoque de última generación.

 

1. Lightning-fast recovery: get back to work in record time

Thanks to minimal tissue trauma and 3D digital planning, more than 85% of our patients return to work in under 10 days, and many are discharged the same day of the procedure.

 

2. Minimal postoperative pain

By preserving the paraspinal musculature and avoiding extensive dissections, the need for opioid analgesics drops dramatically. Less pain means earlier mobilization, which in turn speeds overall recovery.

 

3. Nearly invisible scars

Incisions of 8 mm or less leave barely perceptible marks. This not only improves aesthetics but also lowers infection risk and promotes faster healing.

 

4. Reduced complication risk

Less tissue exposure means less intraoperative bleeding, lower infection rates, and minimized internal scarring that could impair long-term mobility.

 

5. Next-level technological precision

The combined use of 3D navigation, augmented reality, and robotic surgery delivers submillimetric accuracy and cuts pedicle screw placement errors by 43%. Every movement is guided and verified in real time.

 

6. Preservation of musculature and mobility

Avoiding muscle tearing and unnecessary fusions maintains the spine’s natural biomechanics. That translates into an almost intact range of motion and a smoother transition into physical therapy.

 

7. Durable, measurable results

With a 92% success rate in pain relief and under 1% reoperation at five years, the data show that MIS is not only fast and safe but also effective over the long term.
