Endoscopic Spinal Fusion in a 75-Year-Old Patient. Dr. Georgios Vastardis, MD, PhD, Spine Surgeon and Director of the Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (M.I.S.S.) Clinic at IASO General Clinic, has successfully performed an endoscopic spinal fusion. The 75-year-old patient underwent a minimally invasive procedure, during which stabilization cages were placed in the intervertebral spaces through an incision of approximately one centimeter.
