Background: Different surgical approaches are available for lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) to treat disc degeneration. However, a quantification of their invasiveness is lacking, and the definition of minimally invasive surgery…
Background: There is a wide ranging incidence of venous thromboembolism after surgery and it continues to be a major cause of morbidity after spinal procedures.This study's aim was to investigate…
Purpose: In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), non-invasive surgical techniques such as anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) enable to treat patients with mild and severe degrees of deformity while maintaining lower…
Background: Several studies have demonstrated the utility of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IOM) including somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), and electromyography (EMG), in decreasing the risk of neurologic injury in…
Background: K-wireless robotic pedicle screw instrumentation with navigation is a new technology with large potential. Barriers to adoption are added registration time with robotic-navigated system and reliable screw positioning. Understanding…
Background: Single position (SP) lateral transpsoas lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with posterior pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) reduces operative time compared to dual positioning. However, the learning curve has not yet…
