Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the selection of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches in spinal deformity surgeries. They explain that MIS surgery is preferred to reduce complication rates and pseudarthrosis rates. They present an algorithm that was created in 2014 to help identify which patients are suitable for MIS surgery. The algorithm was updated in 2019 to reflect advancements in MIS techniques. The speaker then discusses the selection of inner body approaches for MIS surgery based on a study analysis. They provide two case examples to demonstrate how the algorithm and approach selection work in practice. The video concludes by stating that MIS surgery is not suitable for all patients and suggests contacting the speaker for further questions or concerns.
