Background context: Despite established guidelines, long-term management of surgically-treated low back pain (LBP) and lower extremity pain (LEP) remains heterogeneous. Understanding care heterogeneity could inform future approaches for standardization of…
Background: Minimally invasive surgical techniques have resulted in improved patient outcomes. One drawback is the increased reliance on fluoroscopy and subsequent exposure to ionizing radiation. We have previously shown the…
Objective: To investigate the risk factors for increased surgical drain output after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Methods: Patients who underwent TLIF in a single center from June 2017 to…
Background: The oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) procedure is an important component of the surgeon's armamentarium for the treatment of degenerative spinal conditions. OLIF with posterior spinal fixation (PSF) is…

Objective: Conventionally spinal surgeries are done under general anaesthesia (GA). Plenty of literature is available on lumbar spine non-instrumented surgeries under spinal anaesthesia (SA) but handful of literature is there…
Background: Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion was a new technique that leads to improved visualization, improved safety and less trauma than does the traditional procedure. The purpose of this study…
Background context: Osseointegration is a pivotal process in achieving a rigid fusion and ultimately a successful clinical outcome following interbody fusion surgery. Advancements in 3D printing technology permit commonly used…
Introduction: Instrument-navigation modalities including CT-guided and robot-assisted methods claim both efficacy and accuracy when applied to spine surgery, yet often increase setup and operating times which can translate to increased…
Objective: /Background: Meeting patient expectations is believed to impact satisfaction scores; however, the influence of achieving a minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is scarcely reported. This study aims to evaluate…
