We have compared pain scores, morphine consumption and duration of stay for 50 adults who underwent elective cervical spine surgery via a posterior incision in a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study. During wound closure, the paravertebral muscles and subcutaneous tissues were infiltrated with 40 ml of saline (control) or 0.25% bupivacaine. There were no significant d...
متن کاملCervicothoracic Lordosis Can Influence Outcome After Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery
Background Previous studies on the correlation between cervical sagittal balance with improvement in quality of life showed significant results only for parameters of the anterior translation of the cervical spine (such as C2-C7 SVA). Objective We test whether a new parameter, cervicothoracic lordosis, can predict clinical success in this type of surgery. Methods The focused group involved ...

متن کاملThe Incidence of Infection after Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery: A 10 Year Review
Background The incidence of infection after posterior cervical spine surgery ranges from 0 to 18%. Higher rates have been reported after posterior procedures compared with anterior procedures, but these studies have been for small series. We report on our rate of surgical site infection (SSI) after posterior cervical spine surgery and the risk factors that influence these infections. Methods We...
