Abstract

Conventional open surgical procedures for the treatment of thoracic spine deformity can be associated with significant approach-related morbidity. Recent advances in minimal access technologies have led to the development of posterior minimally invasive approaches for thoracic deformity correction. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for thoracic spine deformity is very challenging area and MIS use is very limited in the thoracic spine deformity.
