- Surgeons need specialized training ALL OF WHICH WE PROVIDE AT AIMIS SPINE
MIS procedures allow the surgeon to perform each surgery through a small incision, with minimally disruptive effects on surrounding tissues and muscles, producing superior results to traditional open approaches. The field of MIS for spine continues to grow, and most conditions today can be treated with some form of minimally invasive surgery.
The incision is usually 1/10 the size of the underlying mass. The minimally disruptive microsurgery procedures we perform are usually on “a day surgery” basis (same day release) and certainly always with the shortest hospitalization time possible. Henceforth, our MIS techniques at AIMIS Spine, more often than not, result in reduced surgical times, minimal tissue damage and blood loss, shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activities.

Am I a candidate for Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Most surgeries today can be treated through minimally invasive surgery and have become the preferable option for most were available. There are certain conditions however, that require standard open treatment, such as high-degree scoliosis, tumors and some infections. The options available depend on a patient's diagnosis and overall patient condition.

- BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH A CHRONIC SPINE CONDITION – like Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Spinal Arthritis, etc.
