Abstract

Tumours and metastases of the spine are extremely stressful for patients, especially for elderly multimorbid patients. The modern cavity/coblation method offers a very good therapeutic alternative for such patients. The goal of this article was to evaluate and present the characteristics, significance, opportunities, issues of the minimum invasive cavity/coblation method as well as the results of the treatment of 302 patients with vertebral tumours and metastases.
