Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery – Regain Mobility with Advanced, Painless Treatment
At Dr. Tushar Pisal Spine Surgeon, we introduce you to the latest Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)—a game-changing method of treating spinal disorders with less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. If you’re experiencing chronic back pain, disc issues, or spinal stenosis, MISS may be the life-altering solution you’ve been looking for.
What is Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery?
Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery, or MISS, is a modern surgical technique designed to treat spinal conditions through small incisions using advanced technology. Unlike traditional open-back surgery that requires large incisions and extensive muscle dissection, MISS minimizes tissue damage, leading to faster healing and less postoperative discomfort.
MISS uses tools like tubular retractors, endoscopes, and surgical microscopes to access the spine with precision. This technique is ideal for treating herniated discs, spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, and other spine-related issues.
Why Choose Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery?
MISS has transformed the landscape of spinal care. Here’s why more patients are choosing it over traditional open spine surgery:
- Smaller Incisions – Reduces trauma to muscles and soft tissue
- Less Blood Loss – Due to minimal cutting of tissue
- Faster Recovery – Patients return to daily activities sooner
- Lower Infection Risk – Smaller wounds are less likely to get infected
- Minimal Scarring – A more aesthetic outcome
- Reduced Hospital Stay – Many MISS procedures are outpatient or require just 1–2 days of hospitalization

Dr. Tushar Pisal specializes in MISS procedures for a variety of spinal disorders, including:

The MISS Procedure: What to Expect
- Pre-Surgical Evaluation:
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, including MRI/CT scans and neurological assessment. - Minimally Invasive Operation:
During surgery, a small incision (often less than an inch) is made. Specialized instruments and real-time imaging guide the surgeon to the problem area. Muscle tissues are spread rather than cut, preserving natural anatomy. - Postoperative Care & Recovery:
Most patients can walk within a few hours after surgery. Pain is significantly less compared to traditional methods, and most individuals resume normal activity within a few weeks. - Follow-Up & Rehab:
Dr. Pisal provides structured follow-up, along with physiotherapy recommendations to aid full recovery and prevent future issues.
FAQ- Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery is a modern technique that treats spinal problems using small incisions and specialized instruments. Unlike traditional open surgery, MISS minimizes damage to muscles and tissues, resulting in faster recovery and less pain.
MISS is effective for a variety of spine-related conditions, including: • Herniated or slipped discs • Spinal stenosis • Degenerative disc disease • Spondylolisthesis • Sciatica • Spinal tumors • Vertebral compression fractures
One of the key benefits of MISS is reduced pain compared to open surgery. Since the incisions are smaller and muscles are preserved, patients experience significantly less postoperative discomfort.
Most patients recover much faster than with traditional surgery. Many return home within 24–48 hours and resume light activities within 1–2 weeks. Full recovery usually takes 4–6 weeks depending on the procedure and individual health.
