WHAT IS Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a micro spine surgery technique that uses advanced technology and small incisions to treat spine conditions with less trauma to surrounding tissue. By avoiding large muscle dissections and using robotic-assisted, precision-guided tools, this method promotes faster healing, shorter hospital stays, and reduced postoperative pain. Dr. Parham Yashar, recognized as the best minimally invasive spine surgeon in Las Vegas, uses cutting-edge techniques to resolve spine issues with maximum precision and minimal disruption, often in an outpatient spine surgery setting.

What Conditions Are Treated with Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

Minimally invasive spine surgery is designed to treat a wide range of spinal disorders while preserving function and minimizing recovery time. Conditions commonly treated include:

  • Herniated discs (slipped discs)
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Sciatica
  • Spondylolisthesis
  • Bone spurs
  • Spine tumors
  • Pinched nerves
  • Flatback syndrome
  • Spine fractures and instability

When Should I Consider Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for minimally invasive spine surgery if you’ve been diagnosed with a spine condition, such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis, and have not found relief with conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have a clear surgical target identified through imaging, and are seeking a faster recovery with less pain and tissue disruption. Dr. Yashar evaluates each patient personally to determine whether a minimally invasive approach is the safest and most effective option for their condition.

What to expect during Spine Surgery

Minimally invasive spine surgery is always adapted to address the patient’s individual concerns. The procedure details can vary, but typically include the following steps:
Anesthesia

We administer spinal, local, or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s health profile and the complexity of the case. Whenever possible, awake procedures are performed to minimize systemic strain. Regardless of type, patients remain completely pain-free during surgery.

Incisions

Dr. Yashar makes skin incisions as small as 2 cm, which is just enough to allow safe access while avoiding unnecessary trauma.

Tubular Retractor

A tubular retractor is gently inserted through the incision. This creates a narrow tunnel to the spinal target while pushing aside (not cutting) muscles and soft tissues.

Assisted Elements

To enhance surgical precision, Dr. Yashar incorporates real-time imaging such as fluoroscopy, high-definition cameras, and 3D navigation systems. As the best image-guided neurosurgeon in Las Vegas, he leverages every available technology to ensure the safest possible outcome.

Spine Fixes

Depending on the condition, Dr. Yashar may perform a discectomy (removal of disc material), a laminectomy (relief of spinal pressure), or a spine fusion (stabilization of the spine using bone grafts or hardware). Each surgical task is completed through a small incision, using long, slender instruments and maximum visual control.
