myAO Clinical Roundup on Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has transformed the way we approach spinal disorders, offering patients smaller incisions, reduced tissue disruption, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery—without compromising surgical precision. Advances in navigation, robotics, tubular retractors, and endoscopic techniques are expanding the range of conditions that can be treated with a less invasive approach, from degenerative pathologies to deformity correction and tumor resections.
In this edition of the Clinical Roundup, we’ve curated the most relevant and trending videos, articles, and expert discussions from the myAO community, bringing you practical insights on the latest MISS techniques, outcomes, and innovations.

A coordinated multidisciplinary approach is used to treat spinal tumors. The expertise of a neuroradiologist, pathologist, angiographer, oncologist, and spinal surgeon may be combined during the patient's treatment. The type of tumor, neurologic deficit, spinal deformity (e.g. scoliosis), bony involvement, prior treatment, patient's medical status, pain, and life expectancy are considered prior to treatment.
