Abstract:

The number of spine surgeries has been annually increasing all over the world. It is associated with high incidence of spinal degenerative diseases, vertebral traumas and different tumors. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are being developed in spine surgery considering extended surgical procedures, long hospital-stay and disability period. These techniques minimize surgical trauma, shorten hospital-stay and disability period.
