Spine Surgery in Space
Existing evidence clarifies physiological and logistic barriers to operative care. Targeted musculoskeletal countermeasures, coupled with tele-robotic and augmented-reality platforms, provide a realistic pathway to safe spine surgery during future long-duration missions. Further translational research and on-orbit validation are essential before clinical deployment. Birhiray D, Ghali A, Philipp T, Chilukuri S, Fiedler B, Lawand J, Deveza L. Spine surgery in space.
