متن کاملMore risks and complications for elective spine surgery in morbidly obese patients
BACKGROUND The vast majority of studies emphasize the greater morbidity/mortality for elective spine surgery in morbidly obese patients. METHODS This review focuses on the increased morbidity/mortality of performing elective spinal operations in morbidly obese patients. There are two definitions of morbid obesity; a body mass index (BMI) of equal to or greater than 35 plus two major comorbid ...
متن کاملComparison of Agonist vs. Antagonist Stimulation on Triceps Surae Spasticity in Spinal Cord
Objectives: One of the most common and disabling complications that affects individuals with spinal cord injury is spasticity.

متن کاملBariatric bypasses contribute to loss of bone mineral density but reduce axial back pain in morbidly obese patients considering spine surgery
BACKGROUND Many spine surgeons recommend stringent weight loss, including bariatric bypass procedures, prior to "elective" spine surgery (should not be for axial back pain alone) in morbidly obese patients (defined by a body mass index (BMI) of >40 mg/kg2 or >35 mg/kg2 with two or more major comorbidities) to reduce their greater risk for major perioperative complications. Although bypasses typ...
