This reputation discouraged many from seeking timely treatment, leaving them to endure chronic pain and reduced quality of life. Today, however, the reality of spine surgery is changing. Modern approaches combine advanced technology, refined techniques, and patient-centered care to dramatically shorten recovery times. Minimally invasive procedures, robotic-assisted navigation, and improved anesthesia allow patients to heal more quickly while avoiding many of the complications of traditional open surgery. This shift is not only a story of medical innovation but also an important lesson in how technology and healthcare practices evolve to meet patient needs. By studying these changes, ...
