Abstract
In an effort to reduce the burden of harm that our treatments cause to our patients, there has been a trend toward the minimalization of spine surgery. We review the minimally invasive procedures used in the treatment of spinal tumors, including minimally invasive diagnostic techniques, vertebral augmentation, radiofrequency ablation, endoscopic/thoracoscopic spine surgery, and minimal access open spine surgery.
