What is minimally invasive spine therapy?

Minimally invasive (Minimally Invasive) refers to a surgical concept that achieves the best surgical outcome with minimal invasion and physiological disturbance, and its most important feature is the minimization of trauma to the human body compared to conventional surgery. Accidental trauma is extremely harmful to the human body and difficult to avoid. As planned trauma, the surgeon should strive to minimize the trauma of surgery, i.e., to achieve the goal of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally Invasive Spinal Technique refers to minimally invasive techniques and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders through non-traditional surgical approaches and with the help of special surgical instruments, apparatus or other means, and it involves almost all diseases of spinal surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery techniques are relative to open spine surgery, and its main purpose is to treat spinal disorders through various minimally invasive means to achieve the same or better results than open spine surgery, while minimizing surgical trauma to patients, promoting early recovery and reducing postoperative sequelae.
