Recent Developments:
Recent advancements in spinal neurosurgery and neural transplantation are revolutionizing patient care, offering new possibilities for restoring function and improving quality of life. Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery (MISS), including endoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures, has led to reduced recovery times, greater precision, and shorter hospital stays. The use of 3D-printed custom spinal implants has provided patient-specific solutions that enhance implant stability and minimize complications. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly applied to preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and personalized postoperative care, improving diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes. Significant progress has been made in neural stem cell therapy and gene therapy, such as CRISPR-Cas9, for spinal cord repair and neurodegenerative disease treatment. Additionally, bioengineered neural tissues are being developed to support the regeneration of damaged pathways. Advances in neurostimulation devices offer new options for pain management and mobility enhancement, while wearable robotic exoskeletons are helping patients regain independence. These innovations, alongside evolving ethical and regulatory frameworks, are shaping the future of spinal neurosurgery and neural transplantation, promising enhanced outcomes for patients with spinal cord injuries and related conditions.
