Clinical Results of Minimally Invasive Spine Stabilization for Spinal Metastases.

The goal of the study was to evaluate minimally invasive palliative surgery and the effect of postoperative adjuvant therapy for metastatic spinal tumor with a limited vital prognosis. Of the 70 patients who underwent palliative surgery for metastatic spinal tumor at the authors' hospital between March 2012 and May 2016, thirty-three were treated with minimally invasive spine stabilization (MIS...

Long Thoracic and Lumbar Spinal Stabilization with a Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Technique

Objectives: The purpose of the current case presentation was to indicate the usefulness of long thoracic and lumbar (TL) spinal stabilization by percutaneous minimally invasive instrumentation. Materials and methods: From August 2012 to May 2013, we performed long TL spinal stabilization with VIPER 2 system (Depuy Spine, Inc., MA, US) by using a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) posterior approa...

Minimally Invasive Option Using Percutaneous Pedicle Screw for Instability of Metastasis Involving Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Spine : A Case Series in a Single Center

OBJECTIVE To report a minimally invasive treatment option using percutaneous pedicle screw fixation with adjuvant treatment for metastatic thoraco-lumbar and lumbar spinal tumors. METHODS This is a retrospective study of charts of patients with spinal metastases. All were older than 18 years of age and were considered to have more than 3 months of life expectancy.
