McKINNEY, Texas — North Texas Brain and Spine Specialists, a leading neurosurgical practice serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, today announced the continued expansion of its minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) program. The practice is offering a growing range of muscle-sparing, image-guided techniques designed to address common spinal conditions with smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissue.
Located at 8000 Eldorado Pkwy in McKinney, the practice is recognized for its patient-centered approach to neurosurgical care, with more than 200 five-star Google reviews from patients across Collin County and the broader North Texas region.

Why Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Matters
Traditional open spine surgery often requires long incisions and significant disruption of the back muscles to access the spine. Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialized instruments, tubular retractors, and advanced imaging to reach the same anatomy through much smaller openings — typically less than an inch.
For appropriately selected patients, this approach has been associated with reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and shorter hospital stays compared with conventional open techniques. Recovery experiences vary by individual, diagnosis, and procedure, and a thorough evaluation is essential to determine the right surgical option for each patient.

New and Expanded Techniques Offered
The minimally invasive spine surgery program at North Texas Brain and Spine Specialists includes a range of advanced procedures, such as:
•Endoscopic Discectomy — A small endoscope is used to remove herniated disc material pressing on a nerve, often through an incision smaller than a centimeter.
•Tubular Microdiscectomy — A muscle-sparing technique that uses a small tube to access and decompress pinched nerves while preserving surrounding tissue.
•Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression — Designed to relieve nerve compression caused by spinal stenosis, with the goal of restoring mobility and reducing leg pain.
•Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (MIS TLIF) — A fusion procedure performed through smaller incisions, often with image guidance for precise instrumentation.
•Image-Guided and Navigation-Assisted Spine Surgery — Real-time 3D imaging that helps the surgeon place instrumentation with a high degree of accuracy.
•Cervical Disc Replacement (Artificial Disc) — A motion-preserving alternative to fusion in select patients with cervical disc disease.
•Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Fusion — A minimally invasive option for chronic SI joint pain that has not responded to conservative care.
•Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty — Outpatient procedures used to stabilize painful vertebral compression fractures, commonly seen in patients with osteoporosis.

Conditions Commonly Treated
These techniques may be considered for patients with conditions such as:
•Herniated or bulging discs
•Lumbar and cervical spinal stenosis
•Sciatica and radiating leg pain
•Degenerative disc disease
•Spondylolisthesis
•Vertebral compression fractures
•Chronic neck and lower back pain unresponsive to conservative treatment

Surgery is generally considered only after non-surgical options — including physical therapy, medications, and injections — have been thoroughly explored. Every patient receives an individualized evaluation before any surgical recommendation is made.
