New evidence on MIS MySpine MC: a safe minimally invasive solution in the midline cortical approach

Thanks to its muscle-sparing technique, muscles are gently manipulated and a small skin incision is performed. The Minimally Invasive approach can potentially reduce the surgical trauma compared to other techniques, because back muscles are preserved, leading to:

• Decreased post-operative pain ^[2,3]
• Shorter rehabilitation ^[2,3]
• Shorter hospital stay ^[2,3]
• Faster return to daily activities ^[1,2,3]
• Small skin scar ^[2,3]
• Less blood loss ^[2,3]
• Reduced complications ^[4]

Furthermore, the most recent study on MIS MySpine MC demonstrates the positive impact on the healthcare systems since its adoption.

2. A retrospective study (Abstract) which reports that MIS MySpine MC allows for a limited soft tissue dissection, while increasing the pedicle screw position accuracy for a safe, minimally invasive surgical technique. In this study, the MIS MySpine MC technique, compared to free-hand CBT, leads to a significant reduction of the following parameters: 

• procedural time (-34%)
• X-ray dose (-33%)
• hospital stay (-37%)

Moreover, the guided technique led to:

• NO complications
• improved accuracy (+15%)
