<p>Over the past few decades, interest in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has increased tremendously due to its core principle of minimizing approach-related injury while providing outcomes similar to traditional open spine procedures. With technical and technological advancements, MISS has expanded its utility not only to simple spinal stenosis, but also to complex spinal pathologies such as metastasis, trauma, or adult spinal deformity. In this article, we review the techniques and technology in MISS and discuss the indications, benefits, and limitations of MISS.</p>

<p>To provide a comprehensive summary of the status, indications and developments in the use of minimally invasive surgery in the field of adult spinal deformity. This study was performed by expert review of literature which has been published and is indexed on PubMed. The most appropriate and recent articles were selected to obtain a consolidation of information and knowledge on use and benefits of minimally invasive surgery in adult spinal deformity. Various MIS techniques have been developed to perform the complex ASD surgeries. These include the transforaminal lateral interbody fusion (TLIF), percutaneous segmental fixation as well as the lateral body interbody fusion (LLIF). It is important for a surgeon to obtain a holistic view of current literature and recommended guidelines on the procedures available for ASD surgeries. Overall, minimally invasive spine surgery has resulted in less use of pain medicine, less blood loss, lower infection rates, less requirement for intensive care, less hospitalization, reduction in physiologic stress, reduction in complication rates, reduction in muscle atrophy and preservation of normal motion with fusion rates being as high as 80-95%. More articles consolidating the vast literature on minimally invasive spine surgery need to be published to allow a surgeon to effectively weight the benefits and drawbacks of it. More research needs to be performed to compare the efficacy of sub-types of minimally invasive spine surgery.</p>

Minimally invasive spine surgery has its roots in the mid-twentieth century with a few surgeons and a few techniques, but it has now developed into a large field of progressive spinal surgery. A wide range of techniques are now called “minimally invasive,” and case reports are submitted constantly with new “minimally invasive” approaches to spinal pathology. As minimally invasive spine surgery has become more mainstream over the past ten years, in this paper we discuss its history and development.

The field of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has rapidly evolved over the past 3 decades. This review follows the evolution of techniques and principles that have led to significant advances in the field. While still representing only a subset of spine surgeries, MISS’s goals of reducing soft-tissue trauma and mitigating the morbidity of surgery are being realized, translating into more rapid recovery, lower infection rates, and higher cost savings. Future advances in technology and techniques can be anticipated.

Few neurosurgeons practicing today have had training in the field of endoscopic spine surgery during residency or fellowship. Nevertheless, over the past 40 years individual spine surgeons from around the world have worked to create a subfield of minimally invasive spine surgery that takes the point of visualization away from the surgeon's eye or the lens of a microscope and puts it directly at the point of spine pathology. What follows is an attempt to describe the story of how endoscopic spine surgery developed and to credit some of those who have been the biggest contributors to its development.
