Objective: To evaluate how preoperative anemia severity affects 90-day outcomes of spinal fusion surgery. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on adult lumbar fusion patients at a tertiary medical…
Background: Erector spinae plane block is a locoregional anaesthetic technique widely used in several different surgeries due to its safety and efficacy. The aim of this study is to assess…
Background: To investigate the possibility of silver (Ag)-induced adverse events and the degree of bone fusion in posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery using an Ag-containing hydroxyapatite (HA) lumbar interbody cage.…
Introduction: Treatment for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) typically begins with conservative care and progresses to minimally invasive procedures, including interspinous spacer without decompression or fusion (ISD) or minimally invasive…
Introduction: Robot-assisted spine surgery is increasingly used in clinical work, and the installation of tracers as a key step in robotic surgery has rarely been studied. Objective: To explore the…
Objective: Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) can require revision surgery due to the intervertebral instability after decompression. However, there is a lack of mechanical…
Background context: Several minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion techniques may be used as a treatment for spondylolisthesis to alleviate back and leg pain, improve function and provide stability to the…
Purpose: Lumbar spinal fusion surgery (LSFS) is common for lumbar degenerative disorders. The objective was to develop clinical prediction rules to identify which patients are likely to have a favourable…
