Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest clinical advances in lumbar and spine surgeries. Lumbar and spine disorders are prevalent conditions that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. Traditional surgical approaches have been effective, but there is a constant need for improvement to minimize invasiveness, reduce complications and enhance patient outcomes. This Special Issue will focus on emerging techniques and technologies in the field, including minimally invasive procedures, advanced imaging modalities, innovative surgical instruments and evidence-based treatment strategies. By highlighting these clinical advances, this Special Issue seeks to contribute to the refinement of surgical techniques, optimize patient care and improve long-term outcomes for individuals with lumbar and spine disorders.
