Background: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with a rigid interbody spacer is commonly used in the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease. Although ACDF relieves clinical symptoms, it is…
Background context: The transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) technique is an effective alternative to traditional anterior and posterior approaches to the lumbar spine; however, nerve injuries are the most…
Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the morbidity of Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) using an intervertebral tantalum implant. Tantulum is an extremely porous metallic material which…

Lateral interbody fusion provides a significant biomechanical advantage over the traditional transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion due to the large implant size and optimal implant position. However, current methods for lateral…
Background context: Optimal restoration of the L5-S1 disc angle (DA) is an important surgical goal in spinal reconstructive surgery. Anterior approach is beneficial for L5-S1 DA reconstruction and fusion. However,…
Study design: Retrospective observational study. Objective: This study examined associated factors for the improvement in spinal imbalance following decompression surgery without fusion. Summary of background data: Several reports have suggested…
Objective: Today, minimally invasive procedures have become mainstream surgical procedures. Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) requires profound knowledge of the laparoscopic lumbar anatomy. Immersive virtual reality…
Objective: Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of instrumentation placement in spinal fusion surgery, increasing patient safety and outcomes, optimizing ergonomics in the surgical…
