Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to present to you the new issue of the Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery (JTSS), the official scientific publication of the Turkish Spine Surgery Society. The continuous advancement of surgical techniques, the improved understanding of spinal biomechanics, and the rapid development of technology have all contributed to an increase in both the quantity and diversity of scientific publications in the field of spine surgery. The primary objective of our journal is to deliver high-quality, engaging, and innovative scientific studies related to spine surgery to our readers, and to contribute to the scientific literature by publishing the latest developments through the valuable submissions of our authors. JTSS will steadfastly continue its efforts to achieve its goals in this field.
In this issue, we have prepared a range of articles that we believe will capture your interest, spanning from minimally invasive procedures to deformity treatment. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the esteemed researchers who have shared their work with us, to the reviewers who supported our processes with their meticulous evaluations despite their demanding schedules, and to our editorial team who worked with great dedication throughout the publication process.
My hope is that our readers will accompany the development of our journal not only as followers but also as active contributors. Sharing your clinical experiences, research results, and unique perspectives with us will be the most valuable contribution to the scientific heritage of Turkish spine surgery.
Wishing to meet again in future issues where scientific production increases, collaboration strengthens, and our clinical practice becomes even richer…
