Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Neck and Back
Minimally invasive surgery, also known as "keyhole"
surgery is performed using an endoscope, which is
inserted through small incisions (half-inch). The
endoscope is connected to a tiny video camera which
projects an "inside" view of the patient's body onto
television screens in the operating room. Small surgical
instruments may then be passed through one or more
additional half-inch incisions.
