The development of this kind of spinal surgery became possible all over the world and in Ukraine thanks to recent implementation of the newest technologies, which are grounded on high-accuracy tool basis. Less traumatic for patient approaches to operative interference on the spine and other components of human locomotor apparatus at diseases and injuries are used.
