Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last ten years, spinal surgery has witnessed numerous technological advancements and innovations, leading to shifts in treatment approaches across various specialties. The objectives of this Special Issue are to provide readers with a comprehensive summary of novel technologies for the treatment of complex spine disorders, conduct a critical evaluation of their efficacy and utility, and clarify the current level of scientific evidence pertaining to these areas, from childhood to adults with future directions. We would like to focus on methods of comprehensive treatment of spinal deformities, at any age and with different etiologies, and to show the results of such treatment during the observation period.
Special focus will be placed on recent advances in spinal tumor surgery, i.e., surgical treatment of spinal deformities any age, using both commonly proven and innovative surgical techniques; surgical management of severe and neglected spinal deformities using traction techniques and three-column osteotomies; the treatment of metastatic spine disease with or without spinal cord compression and the treatment of malignant primary bone tumors; the prevention and surgical treatment of adjacent segment disease and proximal junctional kyphosis; the restoration of sagittal balance; emerging technologies and their implications; and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and treatment of the aging spine with fast-track surgery and prehabilitation.
