Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeon in Kolkata
Overview
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is an advanced surgical technique designed to treat spinal conditions with smaller incisions. This technique reduces damage to surrounding muscles and tissues. This approach leads to quicker recovery, less pain and lower complication risks compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Rohit Mishra performs accurate and safe minimally invasive spine surgery using specialised instruments and imaging technology in Kolkata. It is an effective option for various spine conditions, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis and degenerative disc disease.

FAQs
Is minimally invasive spine surgery safe?
Yes, when performed by a skilled surgeon, it has a higher success rate and minimal complications than traditional surgery.
Will I need physiotherapy after the surgery?
Of course. Gentle physiotherapy usually begins within days of surgery, which helps ensure optimal recovery, improve mobility and prevent other complications.
Can MISS treat all spine conditions?
Not all cases can be treated through minimally invasive robotic spine surgery. Severe deformities or tumours may still require open surgery.
How do I know if I need spine surgery?
Consult a spine specialist if non-surgical treatments fail to relieve pain and your mobility is severely affected.
Can I return to sports after minimally invasive spine surgery?
Depending on the procedure and individual healing, most patients can gradually return to sports within a few months. Consult with Dr. Mishra to discuss your conditions, concerns and expected recovery period.
