One of the most innovative trends in spine surgery in the last 10 years, minimally invasive spine surgery involves surgical treatment of spinal conditions with less soft tissue disruption, shorter hospitalizations and faster recovery. It involves specialized access to the spine, training and instrumentation.

The technique is akin to "building a ship in a bottle" and is not performed by all spine surgeons. Dr. Manos brings 10 years of clinical experience and expertise in these techniques to the Spine Institute of Idaho.

MIS: Patient Benefits:

Even patients who are elderly, obese, or have complex spinal problem, such as deformity, previous spinal surgery, or trauma may also benefit from MIS surgery. A few of the benefits may include:

  Less muscle and soft tissue disruption
  Decreased risk of postoperative infection
  Some procedures can be performed as outpatient surgery
  Reduced blood loss
  Reduced post operative pain and medication use
  Reduced hospital stay
  Cosmetically appealing incisions
  Quicker return to normal acitvity

MIS Conditions Treated:

MIS procedures and techniques are safe and effective for treating many different spinal disorders. The following spinal problems are routinely treated using MIS:

  Herniated Discs
  Degenerative Disc Disease
  Scoliosis
  Spinal Stenosis
  Spondylolisthesis

Minimally invasive surgery is "the wave of the future" for many spinal procedures and will continue to develop as new techniques and instrumentation continue to evolve. However, not every patient is a candidate for minimally invasive spinal surgery. To see if you are a candidate for this type of surgery please schedule an evaluation by calling:
