Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this systematic review is to establish the main indi cations for the treatment of spinal tuberculo sis. Although there are many factors to con sider this modality of treatment, with differ ent techniques and surgical approaches, we summarize the main indications for easy to re member reference check list.
Methodology: On this systematic review we analyze the quality of evidence generated on the subject “Indications for Surgical treat ment in spinal tuberculosis” from 2017-01-01 to 2022-01-08 to stablish an update and issue recommendtions on this regard.
Results: 20 articles met the criteria and were included in this review. We analyzed retrospective, systematic reviews, meta analysis, we included a multicenter case control study. The objective of our search is to answer the question When is surgery indicated on spinal tuberculosis patients? despite the various surgical approaches and tech niques published.
Conclusions: 13 factors were identified and related as indications for a surgical treat ment of spinal tuberculosis, these are summa rized on Figure 1. There are many surgical approaches and all of them should consider these factors to make a surgical decision.
