What is the m.i.l.d. procedure, minimally invasive lumbar diskectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few variations: Minimally invasive lumbar diskectomies are when spine surgeons utilize a small retractor or tube through which they gain access to the spine. They can then perform surgery in a minimally invasive way to remove a herniated disk in your back.
