Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) has revolutionized the field of spine care by offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgeries. Using advanced surgical techniques and specialized tools, Dr. Kim can effectively address spinal conditions through smaller incisions while preserving the integrity of the spine and reducing blood loss. This results in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and minimal scarring, allowing patients to resume their normal activities quickly.
