Minimally invasive spine surgery is an alternative to traditional open surgery for treating various spinal disorders, including degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. In this procedure, spine surgeons use specialized instruments, such as retractors, to access the affected area through small incisions. Dr. Utkarsh Agrawal is recognized as the leading spine surgeon in Jaipur for this advanced technique.

What Spine Conditions Are Suitable for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS), or keyhole surgery, aims to alleviate pressure on spinal nerves and support the vertebral column and spinal joints with minimal disruption. The spine conditions that respond well to MIS include:

• Herniated discs
• Spinal infections requiring abscess drainage
• Degenerative disc disease
• Lumbar spinal stenosis
• Vertebral compression fractures
• Spinal instability, including spondylolisthesis
