Over the past few decades, majority of neurosurgeons only specialize in spinal cord diseases. However, with the advances in spine surgery, more and more neurosurgeons focus on spine diseases. Precision minimally invasive technique in surgery of spine and spinal cord is an important branch of neurosurgery. As traditional surgery has been gradually replaced by precision surgery, open surgery has been gradually replaced by minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the diagnosis and treatment of spine diseases has been benefiting from minimally invasive techniques. With minimal surgical trauma, precise localization, MIS has become the inevitable trend of new neurosurgery. The model of multi-disciplinary team is gradually becoming universal in the world in order to make the best treatment plan for the patient with spine diseases on the basis of the comprehensive disciplinary opinion.

Abstract

Over the past few decades, majority of neurosurgeons only specialize in spinal cord diseases. However, with the advances in spine surgery, more and more neurosurgeons focus on spine diseases. Precision minimally invasive technique in surgery of spine and spinal cord is an important branch of neurosurgery. As traditional surgery has been gradually replaced by precision surgery, open surgery has been gradually replaced by minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the diagnosis and treatment of spine diseases has been benefiting from minimally invasive techniques. With minimal surgical trauma, precise localization, MIS has become the inevitable trend of new neurosurgery. The model of multi-disciplinary team is gradually becoming universal in the world in order to make the best treatment plan for the patient with spine diseases on the basis of the comprehensive disciplinary opinion.
