This review discusses how minimally invasive surgery is becoming a better option for treating periacetabular metastases, offering faster recovery and fewer complications.

## Contribution

The paper provides a comprehensive overview and evaluation of minimally invasive techniques for periacetabular metastases, emphasizing their benefits and optimal integration.

## Key findings

- Minimally invasive techniques reduce surgical trauma and improve recovery times for patients with periacetabular metastases.
- These techniques allow for earlier initiation of systemic cancer therapies and lower complication rates.
- The review highlights the potential of minimally invasive approaches as a promising alternative to traditional open surgery.

## Abstract

The surgical management of periacetabular metastases has significantly evolved with advancements in both open and minimally invasive techniques. Selecting the most appropriate surgical approach is crucial for improving patient outcomes. This review summarizes the development and benefits of these techniques, with a particular focus on minimally invasive approaches, which offer advantages such as reduced surgical trauma, faster recovery, and lower complication rates. By providing a comprehensive overview of their applications combinations and specific indications, this review aims to guide clinicians in optimizing treatment strategies for patients with periacetabular metastatic cancer.

This review aims to summarize the evolution of surgical techniques for periacetabular metastatic cancer, assess their strengths and limitations, and clarify the corresponding indications. We conducted a comprehensive literature review on periacetabular metastatic cancer, summarizing surgical techniques involving both open and minimally invasive approaches. Additionally, we evaluated the indications for different minimally invasive techniques and proposed potential combinations of these techniques. Our review underscores the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including reduced surgical trauma, improved patient mobility, lower complication rates, and expedited recovery times, facilitating earlier initiation of systemic cancer therapies. These techniques show substantial potential for broader application in the future. Despite the historical reliance on open surgery as the standard treatment, minimally invasive approaches are emerging as a promising alternative, particularly for managing osteolytic metastases around the acetabulum. This review provides insights into the optimal integration of these techniques, aiming to support evidence-based clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
