Minimally invasive spinal surgery or MISS in Texas does not apply to any one particular type of surgery. The goal of this type of spinal surgery is to achieve the same effect as with traditional surgery process, but to do so through very small tiny incisions. This also involves less trauma to muscles. Surgery is sometimes done through very small tubes like test tubes. There are minimally invasive techniques or MIT for several spinal surgeries, including discectomy and fusion. However, this method cannot be applied to all patients. Often, a minimally invasive method or MIM of placing pedicle type screws and rods is combined with a traditional fusion.
What to Expect Before a Spinal Surgery
Once you have decided to have spinal surgery which is exciting, the following events may take place:
- A full medical examination from head to toe.
- A chest x-ray, EKG and full blood work.
- You may also be asked to have a neurological or psychological examination.
- If taking aspirin medication or anti-inflammatory medications daily, a doctor may ask you to stop these medications at least one week before surgery.
- If you take prescription medications or meds and other drugs, including herbal stuff, ask your doctor how soon before surgery you should stop taking these.
- Do not have anything to eat or drink for 6 to 8 hours before surgery as directed by your doctor.
- You will check into the hospital the morning of surgery sometimes the day before.
- Prior to any surgery, you will be asked to sign permits for surgery, anesthesia, blood and blood products.
What to Expect During a Spinal Surgery
- Several small incisions are made in the low back.
- Fluoroscopy x-ray, a method used to make images, is used to determine the correct level(s) to be operated.
- A tube is gently passed through the muscles toward the spine area.
- Pedicle screws are placed through the tube and into the vertebral body.The screws are connected with a rod sometimes.
- This process is repeated until all the screws (usually two or three on one side of the spine) are placed.
- The screw placement and rod placement procedure will be completed on the other side of the spine area.
- Surgery takes approximately 1-5 hours.
What to Expect After Spinal Surgery
- You will be in the recovery room from 1 to 1½ hours in most cases.
- The surgeon will contact your family while you are in recovery.
- After going to a hospital room, you will be able to use a PCA pump to get medication for pain control. This machine controls the amount of medication that can be received.
- Staff will usually get you out of bed shortly after surgery.
- The hospital stay is usually 1-3 days sometimes you can go home the next day (tends to be 1-2 days if only a minimally invasive procedure is done).
- A brace of some sort or corset is usually prescribed.
- You will be given any needed prescriptions and discharge instructions from the hospital.
- A set of exercises that you can do at home may be provided.
- You will be able to ride in a car or plane upon leaving the hospital in most cases.
- Physical therapy or PT is usually initiated after the first office visit with your doctor following surgery.
Your recovery from minimally invasive spinal surgery process in Texas varies greatly among all patients and is dependent on the exact type of spinal surgery as well as the age and health and condition of the individual. Return to work also varies greatly among patients and is related to overall health and the type of work you do.

Everyone experiences some sort of pain at one point or another during the time of there life. It’s often an indication that something is wrong with your health.
Each individual person is the best judge of his or her own pain. Feelings of pain can range from mild and occasional to severe and constant pains.
What Is Acute Pain or Chronic Pain?
Acute pain normally begins suddenly and is usually sharp in quality. It serves as a warning of disease or a threat to the body system. Acute pain may be caused by many events or circumstances, such as:
- Surgery
- Failed Back Surgery
- Cancer
- Injuries
- Accidents
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Knee Surgery
- Heel Pain
- Foot Pain
- Broken bones
- Dental work
- Burns or cuts
- Labor and childbirth
Acute pain may be mild and last just a moment or so, or it may be severe and last for weeks or months even years. In most cases, acute pain does not last longer than six months and it disappears when the underlying cause of pain has been treated or has healed. Unrelieved acute pain, however, may lead to chronic pain.

Dr Siddiqui is proficient in treating cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal conditions and disorders whether they require surgical treatment or non-operative treatment. Degenerative disc disease is a common problem that afflicts many individuals. There are many state of the art procedures available today such as artificial disc replacement (or spinal arthroplasty), dynamic stabilization, interspinous distraction for spinal stenosis, as well as more traditional options such as spinal fusion, epidural spinal injections, rhizotomy, spinal cord stimulators, selective nerve root blocks, facet blocks and sacroliiac joint injections. Dr Siddiqui is able to treat most of his patients conservatively with physical therapy, braces, injections and pain medications. If you do require surgical treatment ,you will have access to the world’s most advanced techniques such as minimally invasive spine surgery. Dr Siddiqui was the first surgeon in Houston to perform the XLIF (extreme lateral interbody fusion) which is a technique enabling the surgeon to fuse the lumbar spine through a 2 inch incision from the side, often being done as an ambulatory procedure at a surgery center. Dr Siddiqui is also one of only a handful of surgeons in Houston performing trans-sacral L5/S1 fusion also through a 1 to 2 inch incision. Dr Siddiqui also performs percutaneous discectomy for patients with a herniated lumbar or cervical disc. Patients are able to leave the surgery center in only a couple of hours after a 30 minute procedure sporting just a bandaid and little of no recovery time.
