Going for spine surgery would have been the greatest advancement ever at the corresponding time, and today it would mostly be replaced by Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, which is truly a step forward for different pathologies of the spinal column when the advancing minimally invasive techniques actually offered patients a much less harrowing and considerably swifter recovery compared-towards-open surgery. Rather than make a big incision in the patient, it uses small incisions -sometimes as few as a couple of centimeters- through which the instruments and imaging are inserted. This procedure minimizes any damage to surrounding soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments, thus greatly reducing postoperative pain, blood loss, chances of infection, and decreases the length of hospital stay.
