Abstract: With the technological progress and the unremitting efforts of spinal surgeons， minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery has developed rapidly in this century and has been widely recognized and used by patients and surgeons. However， there is a lack of standardized treatment guidelines for minimally invasive lumbar surgery. Varieties of surgical techniques and treatment strategies mainly rely on training and surgical experiences. This paper reviews the development of minimally invasive lumbar surgery and discusses the future challenges and technical direction in the development of minimally invasive lumbar surgery. We hope that more spinal surgeons can master minimally invasive spinal technology and make more patients benefit from it.
