Introduction: Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is a safe treatment for degenerative spine conditions. However, risk of complications such as vascular injuries remains. We report a unique case of an…
Objective: The authors investigated the feasibility of a transforaminal endoscopic decompression and un-instrumented lumbar interbody fusion procedures with cancellous bone allograft in patients painful with end-stage degenerative vacuum disc disease.…
Introduction: Spinal tuberculosis usually affects the thoracolumbar spine, with only 2-3% involving the lumbosacral region. Lumbosacral tuberculosis can lead to the formation of a presacral abscess. For drainage of the…

Introduction: Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for the surgical treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) allow non-invasive outpatient based distractions during spinal growth. The purpose of this study is to…
Objectives: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) principle and minimally invasive surgery allow patients to recover faster and better postoperatively. Due to a paucity of their integration, this retrospective study aims…
Objective: Surgical decision-making and planning is a key factor in optimizing outcomes in adult spinal deformity (ASD). Minimally invasive spinal (MIS) strategies for ASD have been increasingly used as an…
Background: Severe collapsed disc secondary to degenerative spinal conditions leads to significant foraminal stenosis. We hypothesized that uniportal posterolateral transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with endoscopic disc drilling technique could be…
