Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery Using Instrumentation
Conference paper
Abstract
In the past decade, there has been a substantial increase in interest in minimally invasive procedures in all areas of medicine, particularly for spinal disorders. The terms “minimally invasive surgery” have been used to describe surgical approaches or operations that are performed with less trauma to anatomical structures on the way to the surgical target area. Minimally invasive surgery is not simply reduction in the size of the skin incision, but rather reducing to a minimum the physical trauma inflicted on the patients [1, 2, 3, 4].
