Small is not always beautiful or indicated in spine treatment! Complications of minimally invasive spinal surgery can be related to wrong indication, anesthesia, patient positioning, and surgical technique. The performance of successful minimally invasive spinal surgery is beset with several technical challenges, including the limited tactile feedback, two-dimensional video image quality of three-dimensional anatomy, and the manual dexterity needed to manipulate instruments through small working channels, which all account for a very steep learning curve.However, complications are just symptoms of the real disease - inconsistent training, the lack of standardized practices, and limited evidence provided by patient reported outcomes. Contraindications for minimally invasive spine surgery: -wrong indication -> doomed to fail or increasing spine symptoms -wrong indication -> doomed to fail or increasing spine symptoms -wrong indication -> doomed to fail or increasing spine symptoms -wrong indication -> doomed to fail or increasing spine symptoms -inadequate patient safety -surgeons should not have to learn on their patients - > 50% of failures related to deficiencies in education and application Take care to underestimated side effects from minimally invasive spine surgery. First ask for an unbiased second opinion to get perfect diagnosis and treatment alternatives by sending your questions to a very experienced spinal surgeon, like dr Willem Zeegers in Europe via his email [email protected], and review also his website drzeegers
