Abstract

Spinal metastases are becoming a more common operative condition as patients live longer, more effective therapies are developed, and data showing that surgical treatment in certain cases is superior to radiation alone has emerged. Surgical treatment often includes decompression, stabilization, and anterior column reconstruction for thoracolumbar metastasis. The utilization of minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques may lead to less pain postoperatively, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stays for patients.
