Minimal access spinal surgery (MASS) is a procedure that permits the spinal surgeons to perform very complex and sophisticated surgical procedures through very small (keyhole) incisions. It is aimed to reduce approach-related morbidity and damage of tissues. It complements the minimally invasive spinal surgery by allowing direct visualization of the spine and gives same clinical outcomes of traditional open procedures. All these have been possible only because of the recent advances in both instrumentation and microsurgical tools required for spinal surgery.

Spinal Surgery

Common conditions that are being routinely treated using MASS include:

Anterior or posterior spinal fusion for back pain from disc degeneration
Sciatica from prolapsed intervertebral disc or stenosis
Infection
Acute traumatic fractures and post-traumatic kyphosis
Metastatic tumour
Spinal deformity, e.g. scoliosis and kyphosis

Patient benefits of Minimal access spinal surgeries:

Very high levels of patient satisfaction
Shorter recovery periods
Minimal post-operative pain
Maximal surgical benefit
Quicker return to normal activities
Less damage to muscle and skin

Easier rehabilitation
Smaller scars
Less blood loss
Improved mobilization
Early discharge from hospital
Outpatient surgery for some patients
