When using the MIS procedure, Dr. Penenberg makes a significantly smaller incision, and cuts less soft tissue. The result is significantly less trauma to the soft tissue at the surgical site. This means significantly less bleeding, less pain, and less swelling. Less pain and swelling results in a shorter hospital stay, and a quicker recovery. You may be able to return to your regular activities within 3 to 5 weeks, as opposed to the 3 to 4 months it takes to recover from the traditional approach.
