Advances in Spine Surgery: Current Innovations and Future Directions

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Advances in Spine Surgery: Current Innovations and Future Directions" aims to capture the dynamic evolution and broad spectrum of research and clinical practice in spine surgery. Despite significant progress in techniques, technologies, and patient outcomes, key challenges remain, including improving minimally invasive approaches, enhancing spinal biomechanics understanding, optimizing regenerative therapies, integrating surgical robotics, and advancing personalized patient-centered care. This Special Issue welcomes original research, comprehensive reviews, and clinical studies addressing these and related topics. Its scope encompasses novel surgical methods, innovative instrumentation, technological integration, research bridging laboratory findings to clinical application, and studies exploring long-term outcomes and quality of life for patients with spinal disorders. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and mobilize the community of researchers, surgeons, and allied health professionals to share insights, overcome persistent challenges, and shape the future landscape of spine surgery. Contributions from diverse perspectives and disciplines are strongly encouraged to advance understanding and innovation in this rapidly evolving field.
