Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery with Intraoperative Image-Guided Navigation

Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery with Intraoperative Image-Guided Navigation

We present our perioperative minimally invasive spine surgery technique using intraoperative computed tomography image-guided navigation for the treatment of various lumbar spine pathologies. We present an illustrative case of a patient undergoing minimally invasive percutaneous posterior spinal fusion assisted by the O-arm system with navigation. We discuss the literature and the advantages of...

Intraoperative Imaging and navigation for Minimally Invasive Spinal Tumor Surgery: Case Series and Literature Review

C intraoperative navigation has evolved to become an integral part of spinal surgery (5,38,43). By rendering multiplanar three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction in real-time, modern navigation techniques provide instant visualization of complex spinal anatomy and allow tracking of various surgical instruments within the operative field. Multiple studies have shown that navigation enhances the sa...

Minimally invasive radio-guided surgery for hyperparathyroidism: an experience with Tc-99m Sestamibi

  Introduction: Radio-guided parathyroid surgery along with other minimally invasive surgeries constitutes the main surgical treatment procedures for different kinds of hyperparathyroidism.  In this article we have reported our experience of radio-guided parathyroid surgery using Tc-99m sestamibi. Methods: Ten patients with hyperparathyroidism included in our study. ...

Image-guided minimally invasive percutaneous treatment of spinal metastasis.

In order to provide effective options for minimally invasive treatment of spinal metastases, the present study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of image-guided minimally invasive percutaneous treatment of spinal metastases. Image-guided percutaneous vertebral body enhancement, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and tumor debulking combined with other methods to strengthen the verteb...
