MIS or Mistake

Dr. Tim Deer discusses the value of performing minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS). Dr. Deer illustrates the importance of treading with caution when approaching spinal surgery. He explores various minimally invasive options available for spinal stenosis patients, including PILD, inter-spinous spacers, and posterior lateral arthrodesis, highlighting patients who are contraindicated for each procedure. Dr. Deer concludes that the groundwork is set for spinal procedures that are less invasive, less expensive, and have fewer complications.
