The learning curve of minimally-invasive lumbar microdiscectomy.
OBJECT The safe integration into practice of a new surgical technique requires an appreciation of the learning curve. The object of this study was to assess the learning curve for minimally invasive microdiscectomy (MIM) utilizing a tubular retractor system. METHODS A prospective evaluation of a single surgeon's first 52 consecutive MIM cases for radiculopathy secondary to single-level poster...
متن کاملMinimally invasive compared to open microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
Before the advent of minimally invasive surgery for microdiscectomy, an open microdiscectomy had been the standard surgical intervention. Minimally invasive techniques have recently become more popular based upon the premise that smaller, less traumatic incisions should afford better recovery times and outcomes. From 2005 to 2008 we analyzed the outcomes of 25 patients who received an open micr...
متن کاملComparing the Incidence of Index Level Fusion Following Minimally Invasive Versus Open Lumbar Microdiscectomy
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To determine the incidence of index level fusion following open or minimally invasive lumbar microdiscectomy. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 174 patients with a symptomatic single-level lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus who underwent microdiscectomy via a mini-open approach (MIS; 39) or through a minimally invasive dilator ...
متن کاملMinimally invasive discectomy versus microdiscectomy/ discectomy for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation
BACKGROUND Microdiscectomy or open discectomy (MD/OD) are the standard procedures for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation and they involve removal of the portion of the intervertebral disc compressing the nerve root or spinal cord (or both) with or without the aid of a headlight loupe or microscope magnification. Potential advantages of newer minimally invasive discectomy (MID) procedures over s...
متن کاملLearning Curve of Minimally Invasive Two-Port Laparoscopic Myomectomy
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND OBJECTS: To examine the learning curve of minimally invasive 2-port total laparoscopic myomectomy (TTLM). METHODS TTLM was performed by using only umbilicus and left inguinal ports, for 30 patients at our university affiliated hospital between May 2009 and February 2010. The times required for each of the 5 surgical phases of the early and late cases performed by the...
