Frequently Asked Questions
Is endoscopic always better than open surgery?
No. We choose the approach that safely achieves full decompression for your anatomy and goals. Each case is evaluated individually to determine the safest and most effective technique.
Can I get a second opinion?
Yes. Bring your MRI and reports; we'll review options and timelines. We encourage informed decision-making and are happy to provide second opinions.
Are older patients candidates for MISS?
Many are—with careful selection, medical optimization, and clear recovery planning. Age alone is not a barrier; overall health and specific condition determine candidacy.
