BACKGROUND Blood loss in spine surgery is an important issue, even though it has been understudied compared with hip and knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated the effect of oral clonidine as premedication on blood loss in lumbar spine fusion surgery under anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 30 p...

We prove that for any contact 3-manifold supported by a spinal open book decomposition with planar pages, there is universal bound on the Euler characteristic and signature of its minimal symplectic fillings. The proof an application spine removal surgery operation recently introduced in joint work authors Van Horn-Morris [LVWa].

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Readmissions within 30 days of hospital discharge are undesirable and costly. Little is known about reasons for and predictors of readmissions after elective spine surgery to help plan preventative strategies. PURPOSE To examine readmissions within 30 days of hospital discharge, reasons for readmission, and predictors of readmission among patients undergoing elective cervic...
