Endoscopic Spine Surgery — Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Our specialists combine precision endoscopic spine surgery and MIS spine surgery techniques to relieve back pain, sciatica and herniated disc symptoms. We are a trusted spine surgeon team in Mumbai delivering keyhole care and advanced minimally invasive spine treatment with faster recovery and proven outcomes.

Overview — What this treatment does for you

MIS spine surgery (minimally invasive spine surgery) is a modern approach to treating common spine problems — including herniated disc, spinal stenosis and nerve compression — using small incisions, specialised optics and targeted instruments. Our minimally invasive spine treatment aims to relieve pain, restore function and shorten recovery while minimising muscle damage and scarring.

Patient benefits of MIS spine surgery

Faster recovery
Most patients undergoing MIS spine surgery return to light activities significantly sooner than after open spine surgery — often within days to a few weeks depending on the procedure.
Smaller incision, less pain
Minimally invasive spine treatment preserves soft tissue and muscle, leading to less post-operative pain and reduced need for strong painkillers.
Targeted nerve relief
The precision of MIS spine surgery enables direct decompression of nerves (sciatica/radiculopathy) often with fewer complications and a quicker return of function.

How does a typical MIS spine surgery work?

Step 1 — Consultation: Our spine surgeon assesses your symptoms, imaging (MRI/CT) and medical history to confirm whether minimally invasive spine treatment is the right option.

Step 2 — Procedure: Under anaesthesia, a small incision and tubular dilators create a working channel. A camera or endoscope provides a magnified view while specialised instruments remove the offending disc or bone compressing the nerve. This is a standard method within MIS spine surgery practice.

Step 3 — Recovery: You will typically spend fewer hours/days in hospital, start light walking soon after surgery, and follow a guided physiotherapy plan to regain strength.

Who is an ideal candidate for MIS spine surgery?

Anyone with persistent, imaging-confirmed nerve compression (for example, a lumbar herniated disc) causing pain, weakness or numbness despite conservative care may be evaluated for MIS spine surgery.

Patients who prefer a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery benefit from minimally invasive spine treatment, provided their spine condition is suitable for a keyhole approach.

Complex deformities or multi-level disease may require a tailored plan; our team will counsel you on the best surgical choice.

What to expect after minimally invasive spine treatment

  • Early mobilisation — most patients walk the same day or the day after MIS spine surgery.
  • Shorter hospital stay compared with open surgery; many procedures are done as day-care or 24–48 hour admissions.
  • Physiotherapy starts within days to weeks to restore mobility and strengthen the back.
  • Return to desk work often within 1–2 weeks; heavy lifting or high-impact work may take longer.

Risks & safety

As with all surgery, MIS spine surgery carries risks — infection, bleeding, nerve injury or incomplete relief. However, because minimally invasive spine treatment limits tissue damage, overall complication rates are often lower than traditional open surgery. We take patient safety seriously: careful case selection, modern imaging, and experienced surgical technique reduce risk.

Is endoscopic or MIS spine surgery painful?
Most patients report less pain after MIS spine surgery than they would after a traditional open procedure. Pain control protocols and minimally invasive techniques both contribute to improved comfort.
How quickly will my sciatica improve?
Many patients experience immediate leg pain relief after nerve decompression during minimally invasive spine treatment, while back pain and function continue to improve over days to weeks.
Is MIS spine surgery covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your insurer and policy. We provide detailed clinical reports and operative documentation to assist with claims for MIS spine surgery when indicated.
