Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to present the new issue of the Journal of Turkish Spine Surgery, which continues to serve as a platform for sharing scientific knowledge and clinical experience in the field of spine surgery. In this issue, we bring together a total of seven valuable manuscripts, including six clinical studies and one case report, each contributing important insights into various aspects of spinal pathology and treatment.

The articles in this issue address a broad spectrum of spinal disorders, including spondylodiscitis, spinal tumors, degenerative spine diseases, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. These studies reflect the ongoing efforts of researchers and clinicians to better understand the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of complex spinal conditions. The inclusion of both clinical investigations and a case report provides readers with perspectives ranging from systematic analyses to unique clinical experiences.

One of the most gratifying aspects of this issue is the strong representation of contributions from both neurosurgery and orthopedics. Spine surgery has long been a field that benefits from the collaboration of these two disciplines. The coexistence of different perspectives, training backgrounds, and surgical philosophies enriches the scientific discussion and ultimately improves patient care. We are delighted to see this multidisciplinary spirit reflected in the manuscripts published in this issue.

We believe that the studies presented here will contribute meaningfully to the growing body of spine literature and stimulate further research and collaboration among spine specialists. On behalf of the editorial board, we would like to thank all authors for their valuable contributions and the reviewers for their careful evaluations and constructive feedback.

We hope that you will find this issue informative and inspiring.

Sincerely,

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Ender Köktekir, M.D.,
