Background: Although previous studies have suggested that navigation can improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement, few studies have compared navigation-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and navigation-assisted minimally invasive…
Objective: Surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) in octogenarians (patients aged ≥ 80 years) has been a challenge. Inter-spinal distraction fusion (ISDF)-a minimally invasive procedure-was used for treating LSS…
Background: Robot-assisted open surgery (RA-OS) is now commonly used in traditional open-exposure spinal screw placement surgery. With the help of robots, robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RA-MIS) can achieve less bleeding…
Background: Robot-assisted (RA) technique has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, providing promising outcomes of inserting accuracy and cranial facet joint protection. However, studies comparing this novel method with other…
Background: Pedicle screw fixation with a cortical bone trajectory (CBT) has emerged as an effective alternative to traditional techniques of lumbar fusion, especially in osteoporotic patients. The proposed benefits of…
Introduction: Preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) can be used to reduce the exposure of allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing elective surgery. Better blood management to avoid anaemia and reduce…
Background: To compare the corrective and clinical effects between Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-Schwab grade IV osteotomy combined with the interbody fusion cage and pure grade IV osteotomy in the treatment…
Background context: The risk factors for radiographical adjacent segment disease (ASD) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis have been previously reported. However, there are only few reports on patients with spondylolytic…
Full-endoscopic lumbar discectomy (FED) is one of the least invasive procedures for lumbar disc herniation. Patients who receive FED for lumbar disc herniation may develop recurrent herniation at a frequency…
Objective: To compare the radiographic parameters and clinical outcomes of isthmic L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with single segment or two-segment pedicle screw fixation. Methods: Between January 2018 and January 2019, a total…
