Effect of an Adjustable Hinged Carbon Fiber Operating Table on Sagittal Alignment of the Lumbar Spine

This is a prospective study that has been done to assess the lumbar sagittal alignment of patients positioned prone over an adjustable hinged carbon fiber operating table. The following three variations table position have considered: neutral, 20° convex, and concave bending. A total 33 who underwent disc herniation canal stenosis surgery were enrolled. Patients presented with spinal deformity akin scoliosis or spondylolisthesis excluded. For surgical procedure, induction endotracheal general anesthesia, on Radiographs lateral view spine acquired for positions, i.e., concave. lordosis was measured radiographs. divergently in all (p < 0.01): 45.2 ± 11.0° neutral; 52.0 10.7° extension bending; 35.9 10.8° flexion efficacy bending 46.5% convex 34.0% In conclusion, different positions 35.9° bending, 45.2° 52.0°
