Background: Spinal metastasis is becoming more frequent. This raises the topics of pain and neurological complications, which worsen the functional and survival prognosis of oncological population patients. Surgical treatment must be as complete as possible in order to decompress and stabilize without delaying the management of the oncological disease. Minimally invasive spine surgical techniques inflict less damage on the musculocutaneous plan than opened ones. Methods: Different minimally invasive techniques are proposed in this paper for the management of spinal metastasis. We used our experience, developed degenerative and traumatic pathologies, and referred to many authors, establishing a narrative review of our local practice. Results: Forty-eight articles were selected, and these allowed us to describe the different techniques: percutaneous methods such as vertebro/kyphoplasty, osteosynthesis, mini-open surgery, or that through a posterior or anterior approach. Also, some studies detail the contribution of new technologies, such as intraoperative CT scan and robotic assistance. Conclusions: It seems essential to offer a lasting solution to a spinal problem, such as in the form of pain relief, stabilization, and decompression. Our department has embraced a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach to MISS, incorporating cutting-edge technologies and evidence-based practices.
