ABSTRACT
Posterior cervical instrumentation and fusion procedures are becoming more and more common with the aging population and rising numbers of multisegmental and revision procedures. The instrumentation of the cervical spine has so far been performed almost exclusively via open approaches. Over the past two decades, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques have gained increasing popularity. To date, only a few attempts to instrument the cervical spine in a minimally invasive fashion have been reported. The following article, after a detailed review of the currently available literature, overviews MIS in dorsal cervical instrumentation and past, present and future techniques, and it discusses the current limitations. Nevertheless, and because of the multiple advantages of MIS instrumentation, a lot of work remains to be carried out to fully establish MIS procedures for posterior cervical instrumentation.
