Spine surgery has taken a long leap in the last decade and constitutes more than 25% work of any neurosurgeon. Technological advances in last couple of decades added impetus to spine surgery with excellent results decreasing the morbidity in the patients. In recent years the progress is happening more towards minimizing the tissue damage during surgery helping the patients to recover faster and resume their activity at the earliest. Neurosurgeons have contributed significantly in this minimally invasive spine surgery by quick adaptation to microsurgical principles and more recently towards the use of endoscopic surgeries.
