Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD Procedure)
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) is a state-of-the-art procedure designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition where the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. Surgeons make small incisions and use specialized instruments to remove small portions of bone and excess ligament tissue, relieving pressure on the nerves and alleviating pain.
​
This outpatient procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and offers benefits such as minimal scarring, preserved mobility, and rapid recovery. It is ideal for patients with persistent lower back or leg pain who have not responded to conservative treatments.

How the MILD Procedure Works
The MILD procedure involves making a small incision through which specialized instruments are inserted to remove small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue. Guided by live imaging, surgeons carefully decompress the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the nerves, reducing symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness.
​
The minimally invasive nature of this technique results in shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and preserved mobility. The MILD procedure is highly effective in treating lumbar spinal stenosis, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life.
