Background: Degenerative spinal disease increases in proportion to life expectancy. Surgical treatments that play an essential role the management of degenerative have evolved from open surgery minimally invasive as well endoscopic surgery. Advanced pathological understanding, diagnostic imaging, and instrument progress support for The study aims report current situation treat diseases Departme...

STUDY DESIGN  Registry study with prospectively collected data Objective:  To determine risk factors for pulmonary complications in spine surgery. METHODS  The Spine End RESULTS Registry 2003-2004 is an exhaustive database of 1,592 patients who underwent spine surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center or Harborview Medical Center. Detailed information regarding patient demographi...

STUDY DESIGN A systematic quantitative review of the literature. OBJECTIVE To compare combined anterior-posterior surgery versus posterior surgery for thoracolumbar fractures in order to identify better treatments. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Axial load of the anterior and middle column of the spine can lead to a burst fracture in the vertebral body. The management of thoracolumbar burst fra...

OBJECT Extensive decompression with laminectomy where appropriate is often still described as the method of choice in surgery for lateral recess stenosis. Nonetheless, tissue-sparing procedures are becoming more common. Endoscopic techniques have become the standard in many areas because of the advantages they offer in surgical technique and in rehabilitation. Transforaminal and interlaminar ac...

INTRODUCTION Advances in digital computed tomography prompted the authors to use this technique to measure correlations between the lumbar spinal canal and the dural sac. The aim of the study was to: 1. Evaluate the value of surgical decompression of neural structures using digital computed tomography. 2. Establish mathematical correlations between the surface area of the dural sac and the narr...

Spine surgery is a continuously evolving field. Traditional posterior midline approaches to the lumbar spine are associated with muscle injury. Common mechanisms of injury include ischemia, denervation, and mechanical disruption of tendinous attachments of lumbar muscles. Muscle injury may be documented with chemical markers (creatinine kinase, aldolase, proinflammatory cytokines), by imaging s...

PurposeThe purpose of our study is to prove that the autologous scapular spine bone graft an alternative for treatment anterior shoulder instability and clinical radiological results are promising.MethodFrom July 2016 August 2018, patients who were diagnosed as having with subcritical (10%-15%) glenoid loss treated by arthroscopic repair graft. The inclusion criteria (1) underwent graft; (2) wa...

background: anterior interbody fusion of the cervical spine have become the gold standard for treating spinal diseases, hence the aim of this study was to compare long term follow up results in patients with cervical disk disease treated with anterior peek cage implantation and without it in anterior approach. methods: retrospectively 63 patients with known cervical discogenic disorders who wen...

The aim of management of injury of the spinal cord, if feasible, is to reduce the occuring neurologic deficit and protect any additional loss of neurologic function. Most of complications are noted during the peroperative or immediate postoperative period. Dysphagia is common occurance in the early postoperative period following anterior cervical spine surgery. There are many reasons that lead ...
