The mild procedure is usually performed in about an hour. Most patients return home the same day.

This is up to your doctor, but in most cases the mild procedure is performed under local anesthesia with light sedation.

Unlike some treatments that may only temporarily address symptoms, mild is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses the underlying cause of pain and immobility in patients with LSS. Compared to more invasive surgical decompression procedures that require general anesthesia, mild can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. Also, procedure and recovery times are generally reduced compared to more invasive procedures, after which patients may need rehabilitation or physical therapy.

Potential benefits of the mild procedure

• Reduced chance of infection and other complications associated with other surgical options.
• Minimal discomfort during surgery, with most mild procedures performed under local anesthesia.
• Limited hospital stay – usually patients return home the same day.
• Reduced recovery time compared to more invasive surgical options.
