Retrospective analysis.To compare postoperative narcotic consumption and pain scores between multimodal analgesia (MMA) patient-controlled (PCA) following minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF).A analgesic approach to management may lead decreased after orthopedic procedures. Additional evidence is, however, required determine how MMA compares intravenous PCA MIS TLIF.Patients undergoing 1-level TLIF followed by either or at our institution were compared in...
An experimental study. To explore the concordance of ChatGPT responses with established national guidelines for management cervical spine and spinal cord injuries. ChatGPT-4.0 is an artificial intelligence model that can synthesize large volumes data may provide surgeons recommendations However, no available literature has quantified ChatGPT's capacity to accurate Referencing "Management acute injuries" published by Congress Neurological Surgeons (CNS), a total 36 questions were formulated....
Prospective questionnaire.To describe patient perceptions of minimally invasive spine (MIS) versus open surgery, and to determine which factors are most heavily considered by the when choosing between approaches.MIS surgery has increased in popularity due proposed advantages perioperative immediate postoperative periods. However, preferences understanding with regard differences MIS have not been elucidated.An anonymous questionnaire consisting 30 questions was administered patients...
Study Design. A retrospective analysis. Objective. The aim of this study was to quantify improvements in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) neck and arm pain, Neck Disability Index (NDI), Short Form-12 (SF-12) Mental (MCS) Physical (PCS) Composite scores following an anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Summary Background Data. ACDF is evaluated with patient-reported outcomes. However, the extent which these outcomes improve remains poorly defined. Methods. surgical registry patients who...
OBJECTIVE Given the increasing prevalence of obesity, more patients with a high body mass index (BMI) will require surgical treatment for degenerative spinal disease. In previous investigations lumbar spine pathology, obesity has been associated worsened postoperative outcomes and increased costs. However, few studies have examined association between BMI following anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) procedures. Thus, purpose this study was to compare outcomes, narcotics consumption,...
OBJECTIVE Prior studies have correlated preoperative depression and poor mental health status with inferior patient-reported outcomes following lumbar spinal procedures. However, literature regarding the effect of on cervical surgery is limited. As such, purpose this study to test for association SF-12 Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores improvements in Neck Disability Index (NDI), Physical (PCS), neck arm pain anterior discectomy fusion (ACDF). METHODS A prospectively maintained surgical...
Study Design. Retrospective imaging review. Objective. Utilize magnetic resonance (MRI) to expand the anatomical description of psoas morphology and its association with neurovascular structures at L4-5. Summary Background Data. Anatomical muscle variants may present a greater risk injury L4-5 level during lateral transpsoas approaches. Methods. Axial sections consecutive patients who obtained lumbar MRIs were analyzed. Teardrop was assessed qualitatively. MRI described proximity structures,...
Retrospective cohort.To compare postoperative improvements in surgical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between patients undergoing minimally invasive laminectomy transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) as a primary procedure to MIS TLIF revision decompression (LD).MIS LD have demonstrated be effective options for degenerative disease. However, some experience recurrent symptoms eventually require with fusion.A prospectively maintained database of who underwent or one-level...
Retrospective cohort.To determine risk factors associated with failure to reach the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) spondylolisthesis.The MCID of PROs are often utilized benefit spinal procedures. However, negative predictive reaching surgically treated spondylolisthesis have been difficult elucidate.A prospectively maintained surgical database who...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. To assess differences in baseline characteristics between sexes of patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) risk factors for adverse outcomes according to sex. Summary Background Data. ACDF is a common treatment spine disease. reduce the rate complications, associated with events have been identified. However, few studies examined inferior or complications after by Methods. The American College Surgeons National...
OBJECTIVE Intraoperative local steroid application has been theorized to reduce swelling and improve swallowing in the immediate period following anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Therefore, purpose of this study was quantify impact intraoperative on patient-reported swallow function after ACDF. METHODS A prospective, randomized single-blind controlled trial conducted. priori power analysis determined that 104 subjects were needed detect an 8-point difference Quality Life...
Typical sources for graft material utilized in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion include both autograft and allograft. Autograft is frequently due to its theorized benefits promoting fusion. During fusion, often obtained locally during the laminectomy facetectomy. However, this bone has exhibited questionable osteoconductive properties, necessitating addition of biologics improve rates. Iliac crest (ICBG) previously been reported be a safe efficacious source graft....
Study Design: A cross-sectional survey study. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine if there are any differences in spine surgeon selection criteria between neurosurgery patients and orthopedic patients. Background Information: evolution the health care delivery system has allowed for increased patient autonomy provider selection. However, process by which choose particular surgeons not well understood. Furthermore, physician used who present either a or been previously...
This study aimed to determine the incidence of postoperative fever, workup conducted for rate subsequent fever-related diagnoses or complications, and risk factors associated with fever following lumbar fusion.A retrospective review patients undergoing fusion was performed. For in whom (≥38.6°C) documented, charts were reviewed any diagnosis. Multivariate regression used identify independent development fever.A total 868 met inclusion criteria, 105 exhibited at least 1 episode during...
Postoperative complications after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) have a significant impact on clinical outcomes health care resource use. Identifying predictive factors for ACDF may allow the modification of protocols to mitigate complication risk. The purpose this study is determine risk incidence medical surgical up 2 years postoperatively procedures.A prospectively maintained registry patients who underwent primary, 1-2-level was retrospectively reviewed. determined....
