[Techniques and indications of neurosurgical treatment of oligometastatic renal cell carcinomas in case of spinal metastases].

Abstract

The treatment of spinal metastases is a huge challenge, but both oncological and surgical treatment have improved significantly. Spine surgeons use the experience of spine surgeries performed for an increased number of degenerative causes during spine surgeries performed for an increased number of tumors. Establishing an indication for surgery is at least as much of a challenge as the surgery itself, for which there are many objective point systems available. Renal cell carcinoma metastases are less sensitive to radiation, which is why careful surgery is even more important. In our short summary, we review the symptoms, the examination, the grading systems used and the surgical options.
