Abstract

Minimally invasive spine surgery addresses the demands of modern society for faster recovery with better cosmesis and comparable outcomes with open procedures. However, the authors emphasize again to the readers, that a surgeon should contemplate on doing a minimally invasive surgery only after being confident of performing the corresponding open surgical procedure to avoid complications and disappointing results. The use of minimally invasive surgery in the area of spinal infections is relatively new and an evolving field with newer and exciting techniques being developed to reduce the surgical trauma for the patient, who is already debilitated with infection.
