The evolution of imaging techniques, along with highly effective radiation options has changed the way metastatic epidural tumors are treated. While high-grade spinal cord compression (ESCC) frequently serves as an indication for surgical decompression, no consensus exists in literature about precise definition this term. advancement treatment paradigms patients spine requires a clear grading scheme ESCC. degree ESCC often major determinant decision to operate or irradiate. purpose study was...
Standardized indications for treatment of tumor-related spinal instability are hampered by the lack a valid and reliable classification system. The objective this study was to determine interobserver reliability, intraobserver predictive validity Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS).Clinical radiographic data from 30 patients with tumors were classified as stable, potentially unstable, unstable members Spine Oncology Study Group. median category each patient case (consensus opinion)...
Object. In many new clinical trials of patients with malignant gliomas surgical intervention is incorporated as an integral part tumor-directed interstitial therapies such gene therapy, biodegradable wafer placement, and immunotherapy. Assessment toxicity a major component evaluating these novel therapeutic interventions, but this must be done in light known complication rates craniotomy for tumor resection. Factors predicting neurological outcome would also helpful patient selection...
The authors review and compare posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with transforaminal (TLIF). A of the literature is performed wherein history, indications for surgery, surgical procedures their respective biomechanical advantages, potential complications, grafting substances are presented. Along technical advancements improvements in substances, use PLIF TLIF have increased. rate arthrodesis has been shown to increase given placement bone graft along weight-bearing axis. across disc...
Fractures of the odontoid process are most common fractures cervical spine in patients over age 70 years. The incidence fracture nonunion this population has been estimated to be 20-fold greater than that under 50 years if surgical stabilization is not used. Anterior and posterior approaches have both advocated, with excellent results reported, but surgeons should understand drawbacks various techniques before employing them clinical practice.A retrospective review was undertaken identify...
OBJECTIVE Frailty’s role in preoperative risk assessment spine surgery has increased association with the increasing size of aging population. However, previous frailty tools have significant limitations. The aim this study was to compare predictive ability Risk Analysis Index (RAI) 5-factor modified index (mFI-5) for postoperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS Data were collected from American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database adults > 18 years...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neurosurgery is a world leader in disseminating neurosurgical science. Although the literature has seen significant increases academic collaboration, data science, and authorship diversity, bibliometric evolution of remains unknown. This study sought to elucidate trends from 1977 2023. METHODS: Wolters Kluwer Web Science were used identify all publications Database utilization was analyzed 2007 2023 using abstract keywords. The BERTopic tool prevailing subspecialty...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Organized neurosurgery offers innumerable opportunities for scientific exchange, networking, and continuing medical education (CME). National, regional, state societies meetings have rapidly proliferated across neurosurgery, as neurosurgical-associated publications journals. This study sought to review individual costs incurred by neurosurgeons seeking engagement in organized illustrate the associated with participation. METHODS: were identified, annual recorded....
In Brief Study Design. Reliability analysis based on expert panel case series review and grading per the Enneking Weinstein-Boriani-Biagini classification systems. Objective. To assess reliability of Summary Background Data. The (WBB) classifications were developed to stage facilitate treatment planning in patients with primary spine tumors. date, their interobserver intraobserver has not been assessed–a fundamental step facilitating broader clinical research use. Methods. Clinical...
The X-Stop interspinous device is designed for the treatment of patients with neurogenic intermittent claudication due to lumbar spinal stenosis. It distracts posterior elements adjacent vertebral bodies, unloading intervertebral disc, limiting extension, and improving central canal neuroforaminal In this paper, authors reviewed complications failure/reoperation rates in a small series compared their results other reported complication rates.The medical records all who underwent placement...
