    abstract = "Minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of some spinal diseases
are percutaneous treatments, proposed before classic surgery. By using
imaging guidance, one can significantly increase accuracy and decrease
complication rates. This review report physiopathology and discusses
indications, methods, complications and results of performing these
techniques on the spine, including different level (cervical, thoracic,
lumbar and sacroiliac) and different kind of treatments (nerve block,
disc treatment and bone treatment). Finally the present article also
reviews current literature on the controversial issues involved. (C)
