Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Spinal disorders necessitate effective treatment options.
  • Traditional open surgeries often involve significant soft tissue disruption.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are emerging as a promising alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the benefits of minimally invasive spinal surgery.
  • To outline current applications of minimally invasive spinal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Arthroscopic debridement of intervertebral disc infections.
  • Arthroscopic interbody fusion.
  • Diagnostic temporary fixation of lumbar motion segments.
  • Intradiscal and pedicular access for vertebral body biopsy.

Main Results:

  • Reduced insult to soft tissue structures.
  • Facilitation of rapid patient recovery.
  • Enabling an early return to functional levels.

Conclusions:

  • Minimally invasive spinal surgery is a viable and advantageous approach.
  • Various procedures are increasingly utilized in minimally invasive spinal surgery.
