Osteoarticular tuberculosis is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and often results in vertebral destruction, collapse, spinal instability, deformity, and even neurological dysfunction. Anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy is the cornerstone of spinal tuberculosis treatment and surgery is mainly used for patients with severe spinal instability, spinal deformity, or impaired neurological function. In the past, the surgical methods for spinal tuberculosis mainly included anterior approach surgery, posterior approach surgery, and combined anterior and posterior approach surgery. Recently, new surgical techniques such as oblique lateral interbody fusion have been reported with satisfactory clinical efficacy.

Moreover, with the aggravation of population aging, standardized and reasonable perioperative management, such as nutrition management and pain management, is gathering increasing interest. Therefore, the update of surgical techniques and the improvement of perioperative management strategies for spinal tuberculosis surgery is conducive to the postoperative rehabilitation of spinal tuberculosis patients.

This Special Issue invites clinicians and researchers to submit high-quality original research and review articles focused on surgical treatment of spinal tuberculosis.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Advances in the diagnosis of spinal tuberculosis
• Innovative surgical techniques for spinal tuberculosis, such as new surgical approaches and bone graft methods
• Perioperative management strategies for spinal tuberculosis, such as perioperative nutrition and pain management
• Spinal tuberculosis surgery-related complications prediction and management
• Application and evaluation of enhanced recovery after surgery strategy in spinal tuberculosis patients.
