Dr. Barba:

Minimally invasive spine surgery is accepted standard practice in the United States at this time. It was experimental ten years ago, but increasingly we have been doing more and more complicated procedures through smaller incisions, and at this point it’s not experimental; it’s the state-of-the-art.
