This practical clinic is devoted to exploring the MIS treatment options for a variety of conditions ranging from tumors to deformity, as well as degenerative pathologies. For many conditions, various MIS approaches are equally efficacious. However, certain spinal pathologies are more amenable to specific MIS techniques which will be showcased in this session by highly experienced MIS surgeons. Presentations will be case based and interactive between presenting faculty and audience.

Learning Objectives:

Identify various MIS strategies and techniques for treating trauma, metastasis and deformity.
Explore the indications, benefits and disadvantages of multiple MIS techniques.
Describe spinal pathologies that are amenable to specific MIS techniques.
Explain the limitations of MIS surgery.
