Abstract

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) allows for the treatment of spinal abnormalities with considerably decreased soft tissue disruption and post-operative pain which has been associated with shorter hospitalizations and earlier mobilization.

This review examines common complications associated with various MIS procedures and provides suggestions for risk mitigation and complication management.
