- Minimally Invasive Spinal Procedures: With technological advancements, minimally invasive spinal procedures have expanded their utility not only to simple spinal stenosis, but also to complex spinal pathologies such as metastasis, trauma, or adult spinal deformity.[BM14.1]
- Microsurgeries: The utilisation of endoscope and microendoscopes in minimally invasive spine surgery has increased tremendously since recent decades, accounting to its core principle of minimizing approach-related injury while bestowing responses similar to conventional open spine procedures.[BM15.1]
- Navigation and Electrophysiology Assisted Complex Spine Surgeries: The combination of minimally invasive spinal surgery utilizing navigation and robotics demonstrated significant improved feasibility, accuracy, and efficiency among spine surgery options and techniques such as pedicle screw placement, etc. It not only reduced radiation exposure but also shortened the learning curves for neuro and spine surgeons.[BM16.1]
- Vertebroplasty: In some patients suffering from vertebral fracture and severe debilitating pain, vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty is suggested, during which bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebral space, thus stabilizing the damaged vertebrae and reducing pain in 70–95% of cases.[BM17.1]
- Kyphoplasty: A spinal intervention performed to treat pain associated with vertebral compression fractures. This technique uses balloons to reduce vertebral compression fractures[BM18.1].
- Spinal Stabilization: Spinal stabilization procedures are a group of spine surgeries that are utilised for the correction of spinal instability and deformity thus optimizing the physiological weight-bearing functionality and mobility of the spinal column.[BM19.1]
- Kyphoscoliosis Corrections: Kyphoscoliosis is a disease of spinal curve deviation with various complications. The correction of kyphoscoliosis requires techniques such as orthotic bracing (in skeletally immature patients to reverse or prevent progressive abnormalities), spinal cord stimulation (for patients with chronic back pain that are deemed poor surgical candidates).[BM20.1]
- Spinal Deformity Corrections: Among various spinal disorders, the treatment approach for spinal deformities includes spine surgery which requires high-level technical ability to handle the spinal cord in preserving neurological function. It requires familiarity and skill with microscopic surgery for a better synergistic treatment.[BM21.1]
- Cervical Procedures (neck procedures): There are several surgical techniques that are available for the treatment and management of cervical degenerative disease. To treat cervical nerve root compression, anterior cervical procedures such as anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) or cervical posterior procedures such as the posterior cervical foraminotomy (PCF) may be performed. The spine surgeons[SS22.1] commonly prefer anterior cervical discectomy with fusion, despite few spine surgery advantages seen in the favour of posterior cervical foraminotomy. It depends on a case-by-case basis.
