The learning curve of minimally-invasive lumbar microdiscectomy.
OBJECT The safe integration into practice of a new surgical technique requires an appreciation of the learning curve. The object of this study was to assess the learning curve for minimally invasive microdiscectomy (MIM) utilizing a tubular retractor system. METHODS A prospective evaluation of a single surgeon's first 52 consecutive MIM cases for radiculopathy secondary to single-level poster...
متن کاملComparing the Incidence of Index Level Fusion Following Minimally Invasive Versus Open Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To determine the incidence of index level fusion following open or minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 174 patients with a symptomatic single-level lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus who underwent microdiscectomy via a mini-open approach (MIS; 39) or through a minimally invasive dilator ...
متن کاملMinimally invasive compared to open microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
Before the advent of minimally invasive surgery for microdiscectomy, an open microdiscectomy had been the standard surgical intervention. Minimally invasive techniques have recently become more popular based upon the premise that smaller, less traumatic incisions should afford better recovery times and outcomes. From 2005 to 2008 we analyzed the outcomes of 25 patients who received an open micr...
متن کاملNon-invasive Quantification of Fatty Liver Disease
As suggested by its name, NAFLD is caused by the accumulation of fat in liver cells (Figure 1). Clinically, the abnormal retention of fat in liver cells is termed steatosis. NASH, an advanced form of NAFLD, occurs when the liver becomes inflamed and damaged secondary to fat buildup. The damage caused by NASH is similar to that caused by long-term, heavy alcohol consumption, yet occurs in people...
متن کاملClinical Results of Percutaneous Fixation of Pelvic and Acetabular Fractures: A Minimally Invasive Internal Fixation Technique
Background: The pelvic ring fractures (PRF) and acetabular fractures (AF) are among the major orthopedic injuriesassociated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Open surgical stabilization is the standard treatment for themajority of these complications. Percutaneous minimally invasive surgical stabilization of the fractures has become anaccepted treatment method for th...
