Abstrakt: Introduction The role of separation surgery in managing symptomatic spinal metastases has been increasing in recent years, and it represents a crucial part of the definitive management of this condition. Methods We report on a series of seven patients treated at the National Cancer Institute in Mexico using minimally invasive approaches to perform transpedicular corpectomy. The goal was to obtain a margin of tumor-free tissue, enabling the completion of oncological treatment with radiotherapy. Results We collected data from six cases. The mean age was 61.2 years. Surgical outcomes were good in 83.3% of patients. Ranging from minimally invasive instrumentations to total or partial corpectomies, these procedures achieved their intended function of generating healthy neural tissue free of tumor. This ensures that the radiation gradient does not affect this tissue. No surgical complications were reported. The objective of these surgeries was to establish a radiotherapy or radiosurgery regimen as soon as possible, thereby improving patients' quality of life (QoL). Conclusions Low-cost transpedicular corpectomy via minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a safe and effective method that meets the goals of separation surgery. However, prospective studies are needed to directly compare open techniques with minimally invasive methods.
