Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Techniques
What Are Minimally Invasive Techniques?
Minimally invasive techniques are surgical procedures that use small incisions and advanced technology to treat spinal conditions with high precision, significantly reducing the impact on the patient.
“I’ve consistently seen a significant reduction in postoperative pain and faster recovery in my patients, especially when using endoscopic techniques.”
— Dr. Augusto, Neurosurgeon at Complex Spine Institute

Common Techniques in Spine Surgery
Endoscopic Spine Surgery
Used to treat herniated discs and lumbar spinal stenosis through a minimal incision.
“In my experience, patients show significantly smaller and more aesthetic scars, with fewer overall complications.”
— Dr. Augusto
Robotic Surgery and Surgical Navigation
“Robotic-assisted surgery and navigation systems provide millimeter-level precision that was unimaginable years ago. This not only improves outcomes but also offers peace of mind and safety for the patient throughout the procedure.”
— Dr. Gilete
XLIF and OLIF
Specialized procedures that access the spine through less invasive lateral approaches.
“I’ve performed numerous XLIF and OLIF procedures, and I can confidently say the outcomes are outstanding in terms of recovery and patient satisfaction.“
— Dr. Gilete
Who Are These Techniques Suitable For?
Minimally invasive techniques are recommended for patients with conditions such as:
- Herniated discs
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
The reduced surgical trauma allows patients to quickly return to daily activities.
Recovery After Minimally Invasive Surgery
Due to the less aggressive nature of the procedure, most patients at Complex Spine Institute return home within 24–48 hours.
“The reduced surgical trauma is evident, allowing my patients to resume their normal routines with minimal impact.”
— Dr. Gilete
