Résumé
Percutaneous thermal ablation has proven to be safe and effective in the management of patients with spinal tumors. Such treatment is currently proposed following the decision of a multidisciplinary tumor board to patients with small painful benign tumors such as osteoid osteoma or osteoblastoma, as well as carefully selected patients presenting with spinal metastases. In both scenarios, in order to provide a clinically effective procedure, ablation is often tailored to the specific patients' clinical needs and features of the target tumor. In this review, we present the most common clinical contexts in which spine ablation may be proposed. We scrutinize technical aspects and challenges that may be encountered during the procedure, as well as offering insight on follow-up and expected outcomes.
