Stitchless Spine Surgeries

Stitchless spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to access the spine.

What is Stichless Spine Surgeries?

Stitchless Spine Surgery is a type of minimally invasive spine surgery that uses advanced techniques to treat spinal conditions without the need for traditional sutures to close the incision. The procedure involves making a small incision (often less than 1 cm) and using specialized instruments, including a tubular retractor and an endoscope or microscope, to perform the surgery. Instead of stitches, adhesives, steri-strips, or small tapes are used to close the incision.
