Understanding Keyhole Spine Surgery
Keyhole spine surgery, also known as monoportal endoscopic surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a safer alternative to traditional open surgeries. This technique involves a small 8mm incision, allowing surgeons to access the spine with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
