Study design: Clinical case report. Purpose: To report the rare case with post-operative chylous retroperitoneum after corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity. Methods: We present a case of a 73-year-old…
Background: Lumbar interbody fusion is a standard technique for treating degenerative lumbar disorders involving instability. Due to its invasiveness, a minimally invasive technique, extraforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ELIF), was introduced.…
Purpose: To compare the preliminary postoperative outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-TLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods:…
Background: The postoperative length of stay (LOS) is an important prognostic indicator for patients undergoing instrumented spinal fusion surgery. Increased LOS can be associated with higher infection rates, higher incidence…
Background: Low back pain is a common health problem for which there are several treatment options. For optimizing clinical decision making, evaluation of treatments and research purposes it is important…

Purpose: To examine the risk factors of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) focusing on rod contour. Methods: Sixty-three patients with ASD who underwent surgery…
Objective: Previous studies have investigated biomechanical characteristics of the lumbar spine after different types of lumbar interbody fusion surgery under static loadings. However, very few have dealt with the whole-body…
Study design: Retrospective radiological analysis. Objective: To explore whether proximal fusion level above first coronal reverse vertebrae (FCRV) could decrease risk of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis…
Study design: A retrospective case-control study. Objective: To evaluate the behavior of pelvic incidence (PI) after different posterior spinal procedures in elderly patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), to determine…
