Abstract:
Innovative techniques have revolutionized minimally invasive surgeries, which has significant benefits for the patients. Despite the benefits, these advancements require a longer learning curve for an inexperienced surgeon. The authors have collected some pearls from their experience and from other surgeons. Tips and tricks about common MISS procedures such as minimally invasive endoscopic transforaminal lumbar disc and interlaminar discectomy, MIS, TLIF, LLIF, ALIF, spinal tumor excision, posterior cervical fixation and foraminotomy are described. How to stay out of trouble is explained with these surgeries. These techniques will help young surgeons to become proficient and achieve better outcome.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.

Spinal Cord: Information Processing
Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...
