Summary
Spine surgery is increasing globally due to degenerative diseases and trauma. Minimally invasive techniques are crucial for reducing surgical trauma, hospital stays, and recovery times.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedic Surgery
Background:
- Global increase in spine surgeries due to degenerative diseases, trauma, and tumors.
- Traditional spine surgeries often involve extended procedures and lengthy recovery periods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the development and benefits of minimally invasive surgical techniques in spine surgery.
- To address the challenges associated with conventional spine surgical procedures.
Main Methods:
- Review of current literature on minimally invasive spine surgery.
- Analysis of outcomes comparing minimally invasive versus traditional open spine surgery.
Main Results:
- Minimally invasive spine surgery techniques are associated with reduced surgical trauma.
- Shorter hospital stays and decreased disability periods are observed with minimally invasive approaches.
Conclusions:
- Minimally invasive spine surgery offers significant advantages over traditional methods.
- These techniques are essential for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare burdens in spine surgery.
