Spinal tuberculosis is the most common type of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis, which can cause bone destruction, kyphosis, spinal cord nerve compression and even paraplegia. At present, as a treatment method for spinal tuberculosis, minimally invasive surgery has been paid more and more attentions, including a series of minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as puncture and drainage under the guidance of real-time monitoring of various imaging technologies, endoscopy-assisted surgical treatment, minimally invasive approach, etc. In this article, the research progress of minimally invasive surgery on treatment of spinal tuberculosis was reviewed.
