Good Morning, Washington D.C.!
Recent publications demonstrate that minimally invasive surgery has lower rates of next level operation at 5 and 10 years. The rate of re-operation is 1.5% at 5 years and 6% at 10 years. This rate compares favorably to the open surgery rate of re-operation of 18% at 5 years and 29% at 10 years. In other words, open surgery has a risk of adjacent segment surgery that is 3.97 times higher than minimally invasive surgery.
