title: [Tumor surgery of the thoracolumbar vertebrae (mobile spine)].
abstract: Three main techniques can be discussed for surgery of spinal tumor at the thoraco-lumbar level: posterior stabilization, partial vertebrectomy (lamina or body) and total vertebrectomy. Surgical principles to realize these 3 techniques are described according to the tumoral level: upper thoracic (C7-T3), midthoracic (T4-T10), thoraco-lumbar (T11-L2), upper lumbar (L2-L4) and lower lumber (L5-S1).
