The spine is the most common site of skeletal metastases. Treatment decisions for patients with spinal metastases can be challenging and greatly depend on survival prognosis. Surgery remains a valuable weapon in the therapeutic arsenal. A review of the literature describing the role of surgery, the various surgical approaches and the prognostic scores available for the management of spinal metastases was performed and summarized. Surgery for spinal metastases has 3 main objectives: management of pain, achievement of mechanical stability and preservation or restoration of neurological function. A variety of surgical approaches are available and depend on location of tumor, presence of instability, neurological status, oncologic prognosis, general performance status and subsequent treatment measures. The goal of any therapeutic course for a spinal metastasis is the best oncologic and functional result with the least aggressive treatment. Novelty surgical and adjunctive measures allow a multidisciplinary approach to the metastatic spine. (C) 2016 Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique (SFRO). Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
