Dear Colleagues,

Spinal surgery continues to evolve rapidly, fueled by innovations in preoperative and intraoperative advanced surgical planning, deeper insights into spinal biomechanics, and growing demands to translate technical improvements into measurable patientcentered clinical outcomes. Modern spinal care strives not only to enhance surgical accuracy and implant performance but also to mitigate procedural complications, restore spinal alignment and function, and optimize longterm patient quality of life through personalized operative strategies.

This Special Issue aims to deliver a contemporary overview of stateoftheart progress and emerging directions within spinal surgery, covering digital surgical planning, computational and experimental biomechanical analysis, patientspecific implant design, navigationassisted procedures, deformity correction, degenerative spine interventions, and outcomedriven surgical decisionmaking.

We welcome original research, reviews, and expert perspectives addressing degenerative spinal disorders, spinal deformity, spinal trauma, spinal oncology, and minimally invasive spinal techniques, with the objective of showcasing evidencebased developments that define the future of spinal surgical care.
