This study was aimed to provide a brief historical perspective facilitate appreciation of current techniques, describe outcomes endoscopic lumbar surgery relative those existing and identify topics in need future directions for the field surgery. Using PubMed database, comprehensive search conducted peer-reviewed English language articles pertaining Lack focus on pertinent techniques or lack outcome measures constituted exclusion criteria. A majority included were published from 2015–2019....
Study Design. Cross-sectional study. Objective. To illustrate demographic trends among spine fellowship leaders (FLs). Summary of Background Data. No previous study in the orthopedic literature has analyzed characteristics or past surgical training FL an sub-specialty. We attempt to leadership including directors (FDs) and co-fellowship (co-FDs). also highlight institutions that have trained these at various levels. Methods. Our search for FDs was constructed from 2018 2019 North American...
Retrospective cohort.Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) may be complicated by subsidence, which can lead to significant morbidity including pain, disc space collapse, neural compression, segmental kyphosis, instability, and vertebral body fracture. This study sought identify patient procedural risk factors for subsidence in patients undergoing ALIF.This analyzed consecutive who underwent ALIF at a single institution with minimum of 2 years follow-up. Patients were grouped as either...
Fluid collections after spine surgery are rare complications, although potentially grave, and may be broadly grouped into two major categories. Symptomatic postoperative epidural hematomas have some known risk factors can present with a widely variable profile of signs symptoms. Treatment involves emergent surgical evacuation to reduce the permanent neurologic deficit. Postoperative seroma lead disruption wound healing deep infection has been associated use recombinant human bone mineral...
Multiple studies have demonstrated the safety of outpatient spine surgery, with reports equivalent to improved patient outcomes compared inpatient procedures. This has resulted in increased use surgery over time. However, there remains a paucity literature evaluating difference costs between ambulatory center (ASC)- and hospital department (HOPD)-based procedures for Medicare beneficiaries.
Small-joint arthroscopy has supplanted open procedures because it offers the potential for improvement in joint visualization, reduced scarring, and accelerated recovery. Despite these advantages, of first metatarsophalangeal is not commonly performed reports its use are lacking. The reason this clear but may be perceived technical complexity poorly defined indications. In our experience, however, a versatile procedure that facilitates treatment many different pathologic processes through...
Advances in modern spinal fusion techniques have allowed for less peri-operative morbidity and more rapid recovery from surgery. The addition of endoscopy to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) represents the latest progression efforts minimize impact surgical intervention.MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody (TLIF) is performed endoscopically through a sub-centimeter working portal. Patients undergo light conscious sedation remain awake facilitate feedback with surgeon enhance post-operative...
Dysphagia is an often multifactorial pathology affecting many elderly patients. In addition to global neuromuscular change with normal aging, one component of its etiology may be direct compression the pharynx or esophagus from overgrown bone anterior cervical spine. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) condition that contribute this phenomenon. Of relatively high incidence (2.5% 33.3%) in populations, DISH has been described spine though more frequently affects other spinal...
