Less PainPatients who choose to have Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery report much less pain as compared to traditional (open) procedures because far less of the natural anatomy is disrupted during the procedure. |

Significantly Less ScarringOne of the major drawback to traditional open spine surgery was that the 6-8 inch incision left unsightly scars on the back or neck. Now, with Dr. Virella's Minimally Invasive Approach, surgical scars are so tiny that most people won't ever notice them! |

Shorter Surgical TimeMost importantly, this means increased efficiency and less time a patient has to spend under anesthesia. |
