Minimally invasive or Endoscopic spine surgery (MISS) is sometimes called less invasive spine surgery. In these procedures, spine surgeon uses specialized instruments to access the spine through small incisions. Minimally invasive spine surgery was developed to treat spine problems with less injury to the muscles and other normal structures in the spine. It also helps the spine surgeon to see only where the problem exists in the spine. Other advantages of endoscopic spine surgery in India include smaller incisions, less bleeding, and shorter stay in the hospital.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) uses advanced technology and innovative techniques to treat back pain and neck pain caused by a variety of spinal disorders. Spine surgery is traditionally done as "open surgery," meaning the area being operated by the spine surgeon is opened with a long incision to allow the spine surgeon to view and access the anatomy. In recent years, however, technological advances have allowed more back and neck conditions to be treated with a minimally invasive or endoscopic spine surgery technique in India.
Spine surgery is typically recommended only when a period of nonsurgical treatment such as medications and physical therapy has not relieved the painful symptoms caused by your back pain problem. In addition, surgery is only considered if your spine specialist or spine surgeon can pinpoint the exact source of your pain, such as a herniated disk or spinal stenosis. The following conditions can be treated endoscopically:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated discs
- Scoliosis
- Spinal Stenosis
It's one of the most rapidly advancing surgical procedures. Through computer-assisted technology and highly specialized tools, minimally invasive surgery or endoscopic surgery is an attractive option for patients who want a quicker recovery after surgery, less post-operative pain, and smaller incisions.
Minimally invasive or endoscopic techniques are beginning to be used for a wider range of spine procedures in Delhi, India, and have been used for common procedures like decompression and spinal fusion since the 1990s. The 2 main goals of minimally invasive spine surgery are:
Decompression
This is used to take pressure off (to decompress) your spinal cord or nerve roots. That pressure can cause pinched nerves and pain. The goal of this procedure is to relieve the pressure and reduce your pain.
Stabilization
Sometimes a mobile segment can be the source of pain or abnormal movement can cause pain. When this happens, a stabilizing surgery may be needed. This is typically a fusion, often done with instrumentation.

Kim Brian from the Sacramento County of California, USA came to India to get Hip Replacement Surgery done. He travelled alone because he could not afford the expenses for an attendant. His surgery was done by Dr IPS Oberoi at Artemis Health Institute. Watch this video where Kim is sharing his experiences.
Mr. Mark Wisman suffered an injury to his knee while driving his pickup. For years he lived in pain and finally landed in India for Total Knee Replacement Surgery to be done by Dr. Ashok Rajgopal at Medanta Medicity. He had some interesting things to say about treatment in India specially the cost of the treatment.
Mr Mphoso got spine surgery done in Pretoria, South Africa in Dec 2016 but did not get relief from back pain. His search ended with Dr Vikas Khaturia in India who performed Revision Spine Surgery at one level and Fusion Surgery at another Level. The surgery was done in July 2017 and the delighted patient has this to say.
