Neuro-Spine MIS Benefits and instruments used

 

 

 

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS) offers several significant benefits over traditional open spine surgery. Here are the key advantages:


1. Smaller Incisions

  • Less damage to skin and muscles

  • Reduced risk of infection and scarring

2. Less Blood Loss

  • Due to minimal tissue disruption

  • Decreased need for blood transfusions

3. Reduced Postoperative Pain

  • Minimal muscle cutting leads to less pain

  • Lower dependence on opioids or pain medications

4. Shorter Hospital Stay

  • Many procedures are outpatient or require only 1–2 days in hospital

  • Faster return home and lower medical costs

5. Quicker Recovery Time

  • Faster return to work and daily activities

  • Athletes and active individuals benefit from early rehabilitation

6. Lower Risk of Complications

  • Reduced risk of infections, deep vein thrombosis, and other surgery-related complications

7. Precision with Advanced Technology

  • Often performed using intraoperative imaging (CT, MRI, navigation systems)

  • More accurate placement of screws, implants, and decompression

8. Cosmetic Advantages

  • Smaller scars

  • Better aesthetic outcomes, especially for younger patients

 

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MIS) is performed using advanced techniques and specialized instruments that allow surgeons to access the spine with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Here’s a simplified step-by-step overview of how it is typically done:


Step-by-Step: How MIS Spine Surgery Is Performed

1. Preoperative Imaging and Planning

  • Surgeons use MRI, CT scans, or fluoroscopy to pinpoint the exact location of the problem (e.g., herniated disc, spinal stenosis, fracture).

  • The surgical plan is created using navigation systems or robotic assistance.

2. Patient Positioning

  • The patient is positioned based on the surgical site (prone or lateral).

  • Padding and support devices ensure stability and safety during the procedure.

3. Small Incision

  • A small incision (usually 1–2 cm) is made over the target area.

  • Unlike open surgery, muscles are not cut but gently spread using dilators.

4. Tubular Retractor Insertion

  • A series of dilators create a tunnel through muscle to the spine.

  • A tubular retractor holds this tunnel open, providing access to the surgical site.

5. Use of Endoscope or Microscope

  • A camera (endoscope) or surgical microscope provides high-definition, magnified visuals.

  • Surgeons operate through the tube using long, specialized instruments.

6. Surgical Correction

Depending on the case, the surgeon may:

  • Remove herniated disc material (discectomy)

  • Decompress nerves (laminotomy or foraminotomy)

  • Stabilize vertebrae (spinal fusion with screws and rods)

  • Remove tumors or treat fractures

7. Closure

  • The tubular retractor is removed.

  • The small incision is closed with a few sutures or surgical glue.

  • No large muscle dissection or bone removal is involved.


Postoperative Care

  • Patients often walk within hours of surgery.

  • Hospital stays are short (often same-day or 1–2 nights).

  • Recovery time is significantly reduced compared to open surgery.

 

Instruments Used In MIS Neuro Spine Surgery 

1. Dilator Set

  • Series of sequential tubular dilators

  • Used to gently separate muscle fibers without cutting

  • Creates a pathway to the spine

2. Tubular Retractor System

  • Expandable or fixed tubular retractor

  • Holds open the working channel

  • May be radiolucent for imaging

3. Endoscope or Surgical Microscope

  • For high-resolution visualization inside the narrow space

  • Often used with a light source and camera system

4. MIS Hand Instruments

  • Disc Rongeurs / Pituitary Forceps – for disc removal

  • Kerrison Rongeurs – for bone or ligament removal

  • Curettes – for scraping or cleaning

  • Nerve Root Retractors – to protect neural structures

  • Nerve Hooks and Dissectors

5. High-Speed Burr / Drill System

  • Removes bone precisely for decompression or access

6. MIS Spine Fusion Instruments

  • Pedicle Probe & Sounder

  • Guidewires (K-wires) – for screw insertion

  • Tap and Screwdriver System – for percutaneous pedicle screw placement

  • MIS Rod Inserter and Manipulators

7. C-arm Compatible Instruments

  • All tools are designed for use under fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance

  • Radiolucent materials often used

8. Hemostasis Tools

  • Bipolar cautery or RF probes – to control bleeding

  • Suction irrigation cannulas

9. Closure Instruments

  • Skin staplers or suture kits

  • Minimal closure required
