What Is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Dr. Kutz and his team are committed to providing their patients with the best care and  experience, by staying ahead of the curve, with minimally invasive spine techniques. Unlike traditional surgeries for the spine and back, minimally invasive surgical approaches are typically the safest and speediest option. In fact, these techniques often make it possible to successfully perform spinal surgery as outpatient procedures.  Compared to traditional surgical techniques, there’s less overall trauma to the body’s tissues and muscles, which leads to a world of benefits such as:

  1. Less surgical blood loss
  2. Reduced risk of infection and damage
  3. Reduced pain, leading to less reliance on post-operative pain management
  4. Reduced incision size, leading to optimum cosmetic results
  5. Quicker recovery times
