<jats:title>OBSERVATIONS</jats:title>
<jats:p>In this article, the authors present several cases that demonstrate the potential applications of sublaminar bands in oncological spine surgery. The potential applications are divided into three categories: (1) as an additional tool in salvage procedures, (2) to correct kyphosis in pathological fractures, and (3) for bone graft anchoring to the spine.</jats:p>
