Abstract

Traditional open spine surgery is the gold standard procedure in spine practice. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) since last two decades have tremendously improved in technique and technology improving the clinical and functional outcomes of the surgery and patients. But still MISS has steep learning curve, many challenges and hurdles to inculcate it in the routine spine practice of the surgeon who may be either a novice or even an established in spine practice. The author has tried to identify the hurdles in incorporating MISS in routine spine practice and suggested methods to overcome these hurdles to incorporate MISS in routine clinical practice.
Keywords: Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS); Spine practice; Spine Surgeon.
