I have heard people talk about less invasive back surgeries. What are these? How do I know if I am a candidate? |

Surgery is performed with smaller incisions and less destructive exposure. Surgery is performed through tubes and small fine retractors. You will know if you are a candidate for less invasive surgery by talking to a surgeon who does these procedures. In my opinion, there really is no one who is not a candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery. But the final decision on this matter must be made on a patient-by-patient basis.
