Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) is an innovative, outpatient procedure designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition that causes narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back (lumbar region). This procedure aims to alleviate pressure on the spinal nerves, effectively reducing pain and improving mobility.
During the MILD procedure, the patient is placed under local anesthesia and light sedation to ensure comfort throughout the process. The surgeon uses advanced imaging technology to guide a specialized device through a small, skin-level incision in the lower back. This device is used to remove small portions of bone and excess ligament tissue that are causing compression of the spinal nerves.
This procedure is termed “minimally invasive” because it avoids major tissue damage, significant blood loss, and extensive postoperative pain. It does not involve general anesthesia, implants, or stitches, which significantly reduces recovery time. Most patients are able to return home the same day of the procedure and resume normal activities shortly after.
The MILD procedure offers a safe, effective, and less invasive alternative to traditional open back surgery for patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis. Its goal is to restore patient’s quality of life by reducing pain and enhancing mobility.
