ObjectiveThe evolution of imaging techniques, along with highly effective radiation options has changed the way metastatic epidural tumors are treated. While high-grade epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) frequently serves as an indication for surgical decompression, no consensus exists in the literature about the precise definition of this term. The ...... hiện toàn bộ Radiographic and clinical evaluation of cage subsidence after stand-alone lateral interbody fusion Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 110-118 - 2013

Indirect decompression of the neural structures through interbody distraction and fusion in the lumbar spine is feasible, but cage subsidence may limit maintenance of the initial decompression. The influence of interbody cage size on subsidence and symptoms in minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion is heretofore unreported. The authors report...... hiện toàn bộ Anterior lumbar interbody fusion in comparison with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: implications for the restoration of foraminal height, local disc angle, lumbar lordosis, and sagittal balance Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 379-386 - 2007

Object
A primary consideration of all spinal fusion procedures is restoration of normal anatomy, including disc height, lumbar lordosis, foraminal decompression, and sagittal balance. To the authors' knowledge, there has been no direct comparison of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) concerning thei...... hiện toàn bộ Surgical site infection rates after minimally invasive spinal surgery Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 471-476 - 2009

Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) have been reported after 2–6% of spinal surgeries in most large series. The incidence of SSI can be < 1% after decompressive procedures and > 10% after instrumented fusions. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that there is a lower rate of SSI when minimally invasive techniques are used.... hiện toàn bộ Minimally invasive microendoscopy-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with instrumentation Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 98-105 - 2005
Robert E. Isaacs, Vinod K. Podichetty, Paul Santiago, Faheem A. Sandhu, John Spears, Kristen M. Kelly, Laurie Rice, Richard G. Fessler
ObjectThe authors have developed a novel technique for percutaneous fusion in which standard microendoscopic discectomy is modified. Based on data obtained in their cadaveric studies they considered that this minimally invasive interbody fusion could be safely implemented clinically. The authors describe their initial ex...... hiện toàn bộ Impact of spinopelvic alignment on decision making in deformity surgery in adults Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 547-564 - 2012

Sagittal spinal misalignment (SSM) is an established cause of pain and disability. Treating physicians must be familiar with the radiographic findings consistent with SSM. Additionally, the restoration or maintenance of physiological sagittal spinal alignment after reconstructive spinal procedures is imperative to achieve good clinical outcomes.
