Oct 1, 2026
MINT in Lewisville, TX, led by Dr. Scott C. Kutz, outlines how minimally invasive spine surgery techniques may support faster recovery for patients with back or neck pain considering treatment options.
Plano, United States, October 1, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas (MINT), led by board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Scott C. Kutz, is highlighting its minimally invasive spine surgery approach for patients in Lewisville, TX. The practice focuses on addressing the source of a patient's pain while limiting disruption to healthy tissue, with the aim of supporting a faster recovery and a quicker return to daily routines.

The surgical approach itself can shape how recovery unfolds. Traditional open spine surgery often requires longer incisions and more extensive movement of muscle and soft tissue to reach the spine, whereas minimally invasive techniques rely on smaller incisions, specialized instruments, and image guidance to access the treatment area, which can reduce trauma to surrounding structures compared with open procedures.
This difference can translate into several potential benefits for appropriate candidates, including smaller incisions and reduced scarring, less damage to surrounding muscle and soft tissue, lower blood loss during the procedure, less postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and an earlier return to light activity. Outcomes vary depending on the specific procedure performed and the individual patient's condition and overall health.
Dr. Kutz applies these principles through precise, muscle-sparing access combined with endoscopic visualization to reach the affected area of the spine. Rather than relying solely on incision size as a measure of success, treatment is directed at the specific anatomical source of the patient's symptoms, whether that involves a compressed nerve, a damaged disc, or joint-related pain.
Surgical planning at MINT is customized to each patient rather than applied uniformly across conditions. The practice evaluates and treats herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spinal tumors, and sacroiliac joint disorders, with decisions guided by diagnosis, imaging findings, reported symptoms, and the patient's general health status. This individualized process helps determine which patients may be reasonable candidates for a minimally invasive technique and which may require a different surgical plan.
Recovery following a minimally invasive procedure typically involves several coordinated steps. Patients are often encouraged to begin moving early, follow instructions for incision care, and manage pain under the surgeon's guidance. Temporary restrictions on bending, lifting, or driving may apply for a period that depends on the procedure performed, followed by scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing. Timelines differ from patient to patient and procedure to procedure, and no single recovery schedule applies to every case.
Patients in the Lewisville, TX area experiencing persistent back or neck pain are invited to contact Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery of Texas to discuss whether a minimally invasive evaluation may be appropriate for their condition. A consultation with Dr. Kutz can help clarify the source of symptoms and outline the range of treatment options available before any surgical decision is made.

MANDAUE CITY — Daniel “The Beast” Boiwo and Teresiah Kabui captured the men’s and women’s 21K titles as more than 1,800 runners opened the PalawanPay Trilogy Marathon 2026 in this city on Sept. 27. Boiwo led the men’s 21K field with Arvengie Encinada taking second and Glady Kipto third. Kabui topped the women’s race, followed by Michelle Raniola and Cristine Ann Sardoncillo. The Cebu leg offered four race distances: 5K, 10K, 16K and 21K as competitive runners shared the course with families, friends, employees, partners, and other members of the community. Mark Mahinay won the men’s 16K, followed by Nickson Kosgei and Jerome Casinillo. Michelle Zamora topped the women’s 16K, with Lyn-nel Martus second and Abigael Jerop third.

The three-leg series also carries a fundraising component that will support the purchase of fully equipped emergency ambulances for underserved communities in Aklan and South Cotabato. Palawan Group of Companies chose Cebu as the opening venue partly because of its established operations in the province. The company has 295 Palawan branches and more than 1,500 Cebuano partners and associates in Cebu. “Bringing the Trilogy to Cebu is another way for us to be part of the community, not just in the services we provide every day, but also in activities that promote health, wellness, and time together,” said Lisa Castro-Sabado, chief business development officer of Palawan Group of Companies. The company also used the Trilogy to continue its grassroots sports programs, which include tennis, basketball, aside from running. The Trilogy will move to Palawan for its second leg on Oct. 18 before concluding in Manila on Nov. 28.
POC chief says surpassing gold medal target still possible
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino is confident the country would surpass its target of four gold medals in the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Tolentino said the country still has a strong chance in multiple disciplines, including jiu-jitsu and judo. “There are still three days until Sunday morning. Last 3 days, still hoping for more golds,” he said. His bold prediction, however, took a hit Thursday afternoon when top seed Alex Eala lost in women's tennis semifinals and settled for the bronze. At the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, the Philippines finished with four gold medals from pole vaulter EJ Obiena, jiu-jitsu fighters Annie Ramirez and Meggie Ochoa, and the Gilas Pilipinas men’s basketball team. At press time, the Philippines has three gold medals, one from Obiena and two from Carlos Yulo. Tokyo Olympic silver medalist and pugilist Carlo Paalam and the jiu-jitsu fighters, including Ramirez and Kaila Napolis are still in the hunt for a gold medal. “God willing. Fellow Filipinos, let's pray for our athletes at Team Philippines. They’re still on the qualification stage. That’s why we can still surpass the four, hopefully,” Tolentino said. The POC chief earlier said that their target was to win four gold medals — later increased to eight — for this edition of the Asian Games. The closing ceremony is set to be held on Sunday with Japan handing over the Olympic Council of Asia flag to Doha, Qatar, which will host the quadrennial event for the second time in 2030.

No Asian Games gold for Eala
MANILA, Philippines — Favored to win the gold medal, Filipina tennis ace Alex Eala bowed to Xiyu Wang of China in a grueling three-set match, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, in their women's tennis semifinal duel at the 20th Asian Games on a windy Thursday afternoon at the Higashiyama Park Tennis Center. Eala, ranked 18th in the world and seeded No. 1 in the tournament, failed to sustain her rousing start and lost to world No. 85 Wang after a long three-hour battle. Eala fully took control of the match against Wang after a 5-0 start in the opening set, orchestrating razor-sharp swings. Wang did not back down from the fight and pulled three straight loves to challenge the No. 1-seeded netter of the tournament, 5-3. Eala had enough with the back-and-forth against Wang and loaded up her swings to take the first set, 6-3. In set three, Wang held a comfortable 5-2 lead, nearing to book her ticket in the finals. Wang finished the match with a loaded hammer, 6-2. Eala fell short in her bid to end the 64-year gold medal drought of the nation, as the last time the Philippines won a gold medal was at the 1962 Jakarta Games, when Johnny Jose defeated Michio Miyagi in the men’s singles final. Wang will next face compatriot Shuai Zhang, ranked World No. 54, making it an all-Chinese women's final.
