What defines MicroSpine surgeries or minimally invasive spine surgery?
MicroSpine surgery or minimally invasive spine surgery has been defined as surgery that involves an incision of less than one inch. Any spinal surgery with an incision of greater than an inch is conventional surgery by this definition. Thus ask if your surgeon can perform microspine surgery and whether the incision will be less than an inch. There is a huge difference between a 1/2 inch incision and a three inch incision.
