What are the risks of minimally invasive spine procedures?
Minimally invasive laser procedure complications are generally very low compared to traditional open back surgery. Because the Minimally Invasive Spine Institute’s doctors always use the smallest incision possible, in many cases only local anesthesia is needed and often only a Band-Aid® for healing. Typically NO general anesthesia will be necessary. And due to small incision sizes, post-procedure infection at the incision site rarely occurs.
