Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), new instruments and experiences have been acknowledged, and both surgery results and patient expectations are improving.

From the minimally invasive microscopic technique, all kinds of indirect and endoscopic approaches are developing together with both high-definition (HD) image system and MISS surgical tools. MISS is becoming a trend that goes beyond experimental levels and replaces the conventional approach. However, compared to the development and possibility of these technologies, the analysis is still insufficient, and new research and techniques should be regularly tested.

This Special Issue aims to share research and experience in the field of MISS, based on different skills and specially designed instruments. The purpose is to share research results and technologies and improve the solutions for patients suffering from spinal pain.

  • Microscopic surgery with MISS retractor.
  • Endoscopic spine surgery.
  • Uniportal endoscopic spine surgery.
  • Biportal endoscopic spine surgery.
  • Sacral endoscopic laser decompression.
  • Direct lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Oblique lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery for tumours and infection.
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery for deformities.
  • Water management during endoscopic surgery.
  • Fusion material for spine surgery.
  • Cervical endoscopic foraminotomy.
  • Complication during MISS surgery.

We all accept original articles, reviews, and case reports.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background and Objectives: Biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) is a promising technique that can be applied for the treatment of various spinal diseases. However, traditional BESS procedures require multiple, separate incisions. We present, herein, various techniques to reduce the number of incisions in multi-level surgery and their clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: Three different techniques were used to reduce the number of incisions for the preservation of normal tissue associated with BESS: the step-ladder technique, employing a common portal for the scope and instruments; the portal change technique employing a two-level procedure with two incisions; and the tilting technique, employing more than three levels. Pain (Visual Analog Scale), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), and patient satisfaction were evaluated before and 12 months after the procedure. Results: Among the 122 cases of multilevel spine surgery, 1.43 incisions per level were employed for multilevel BESS. Pain and disability showed significant improvement. Patient satisfaction showed favorable results. Conclusions: Combining multiple techniques during biportal surgery could decrease the number of incisions needed and preserve musculature with favorable clinical outcomes. Full article
