| Review Title: | Image guidance in spine tumor surgery |
| Abstract: | Beginning with basic stereotactic operative methods in neurosurgery, intraoperative navigation and image guidance systems have since become the norm in that field. Following the introduction of image guidance into spinal surgery, there has been a dramatic increase in its utilization across disciplines and pathologies. Spine tumor surgery encompasses a wide range of complex surgical techniques and treatment strategies. Similarly to deformity correction and trauma surgery, spine navigation holds potential to improve outcomes and optimize surgical technique for spinal tumors. Recent data demonstrate the applicability of neuro-navigation in the field of spinal oncology, particularly for spinal stabilization, maximizing extent of resection and integration of minimally invasive therapies. The rapid introduction of new, less invasive, and ablative surgical techniques in spine oncology coupled with the rising incidence of spinal metastatic disease make it imperative for spine surgeons to be familiar with the indications for and limitations of imaging guidance. Herein, we provide a practical, current concepts narrative review on the use of spinal navigation in three areas of spinal oncology: (a) extent of tumor resection, (b) spinal column stabilization, and (c) focal ablation techniques. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. |
