Dr. Taghva prefers minimally invasive spinal surgery because it allows for quick relief from chronic pain with reduced surgical risks. While every operation carries risks, small incisions and cutting-edge tools significantly reduce muscle damage and postoperative pain. Possible risks may still include localized infection, an adverse reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and the need for full open surgery if the surgery is not successful. However, Dr. Taghva's spinal decompression surgery success rate is very high.
