Summary: Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers comparable efficacy and safety with less collateral damage compared to conventional surgery. This article provides a comprehensive review and updates of ESS, including nomenclature, technical evolution, bibliometric analysis, recent changes in the spine communities, the prevailing of biportal endoscopy, and the future of endoscopic spine surgery.

Summary: Spinal surgery is shifting towards a minimally invasive paradigm, driven by various factors. Advancements in intraoperative imaging and navigation technologies have enabled the increasing use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. However, patient-specific factors may render minimally invasive approaches unfeasible, prompting researchers to optimize patient selection for optimal outcomes in minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Summary: With the increasing population aging, osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) have become more common and resulted in severe back pain and functional impairment. Minimally invasive procedures such as percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) have revolutionized the treatment of OVCFs, but complications remain. Therefore, new implants for OVCFs have been developed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional procedures, although further clinical studies are needed to determine their effectiveness and indications.

Summary: Strong forces are driving the advancement of minimally invasive spinal surgery, but challenges such as limited training opportunities, steep learning curve, and high upfront costs persist. Through considering key factors and evolving technologies, minimally invasive surgeries are becoming even less invasive and safer, effectively shaping the future of minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Summary: The study investigated the technical aspects of microscope-assisted anterior decompression fusion and introduced a spreader system suitable for minimally invasive anterior lumbar interbody fusion (Mini-ALIF). The study included 42 patients who underwent microscope-assisted Mini-ALIF surgery and found that the technique provided good intraoperative disc exposure and improved postoperative foramen and disc height.

Summary: The study compared the effects of Traditional Open Spine Surgery and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery on muscles and tendons, revealing differences in muscle loads and joint reaction forces between the two approaches. Individuals with fused joints should be particularly cautious during lifting, as both surgical methods have varying impacts on muscle loads and joint reactions.

Summary: This article introduces a novel surgical technique called the coin-hole technique or minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Compared to conventional open surgery, MISS has advantages such as a smaller incision, less blood loss and postoperative pain, and lower infection rates. However, complications have been reported in the initial stages of using MISS for AIS.

Summary: This technical note presents the first reported case of a totally robotic minimally invasive anterior and posterior lumbar fusion and instrumentation. The surgery was successful, with significant improvement of symptoms postoperatively, and radiography confirming appropriate placement of the implants.

Summary: Minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screws surgery provides stability and fusion through muscle sparing paramedian incisions, often used as adjunctive posterior stabilization after anterior lumbar interbody fusion or lateral lumbar interbody fusion procedures. In some cases, posterior facet fusion may be performed to create more fusion surface. Robotic-guided facet decortication is suggested but currently lacks published techniques.

Summary: Extrahepatic transection of the right hepatic artery and right portal vein before parenchymal dissection is a standard procedure in minimal invasive right hepatectomy. This study reports a simplified approach where the hilar dissection is omitted and the dissection line is defined with ultrasound. The results show that ultrasound-guided hepatectomy is at least comparable to the standard technique in terms of intraoperative and postoperative outcomes.

Summary: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disease in the elderly population, often requiring surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), including techniques like endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), is gaining popularity as a potential replacement for traditional open surgery in the treatment of LSS associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).

Summary: This study reports a nature-derived strategy for the fabrication of a dynamic biointerface and a 3D hydrogel structure. The reversible receptor-ligand interaction allows for the reversible regulation of multiple cell types, and the dynamic hydrogel serves as a functional antibacterial scaffold.
