Doctors treat spinal injuries using different methods depending on their severity. If the injury is minor, the doctor prefers to use conservative treatment, but if it is severe, he resorts to surgical intervention by performing operations called limited spinal intervention.
What are these operations?

Limited intervention in the spine
Minimally invasive spinal surgeries are surgeries that aim to treat spinal injuries by making small incisions to reach the vertebrae. These surgeries differ from traditional surgeries in the size of the wound the doctor makes during the operation.

Indications for minimally invasive spine operations
Minimally invasive spinal surgeries help treat injuries to the vertebrae, such as:

• Slipped disc. 
• Narrowing of the spinal canal, where the spinal cord is located.
• Spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, mean the spine bends to one side.
• Some back vertebrae slip out of place and become unstable.
• The back vertebrae are fractured.
• Growth of tumors in the spinal cord.
• Spinal cord infection.

Advantages of minimally invasive spine operations
• Low rate of feeling pain
• Speedy recovery and recovery
• Integrity of membranes and muscles

Dr. Walid Attia has performed more than 500 minimally invasive microsurgical operations on the spine.
