Study Design: This study was based on Clinical Trial medical records from the Valencia University General Hospital (Hospital General Universitario de Valencia), Spain. The study population consisted of patients who underwent spinal surgery and who had documented follow-up visits for at least 2 years afterwards. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate re-operation rates in...

Increased incidence of upper cervical metastases and higher life expectancy resulted in higher operative rates in patients. The purpose of this study was to explore the methods and the clinical outcomes of palliative surgery for cervical spinal metastases.A systematic review of a 15-case series of upper cervical metastases treated with palliative surgery was performed. All cases underwent palli...

Technological progress greatly revolutionizes medicine. Robots give the opportunity to reach greater accuracy and thus improve the medical outcome. The results of a surgical intervention profoundly depend on the robot system and on the training state of the operator. Since the learning of a surgical intervention can be influenced by the complexity of the system, these interconnections are inves...

The incidence of paraspinal schwannoma supraclavicular fossa is low, and its operative plan complications have not been systematic reported. Here, we reported a case in our center. methods, intraoperative precautions postoperative were illustrated. A 54 years old male patient was admitted to hospital due pain the left chest back for 20 days. MRI showed 32 × 68 38 mm tumor adjacent spine fossa. ...

INTRODUCTION Degenerative spine disorders are steadily increasing parallel to the aging of the population with considerable impact on cost and productivity. In this paper we study the prevalence and risk factors for multiple spine surgery and its impact on cost. METHODS Data on 1,153 spine surgery inpatients operated between October 2005 and September 2008 (index spine surgery) in regard to t...

THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY tions, including 24-hour ambulant monitoring, revealed only atrial fibrillation. Radiographs of the cervical spine showed spondylolisthesis at the C5 to C6 level. Anterior cervical interbody fusion was performed at this level; the bony changes seen at operation were similar to those described in case 1. He had no more drop attacks during the last year of hi...

Background and Importance: The development of C5 root palsy is a well-known potential complication of cervical spine surgeries for the correction of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. It typically occurs unilaterally but on extremely rare occasions it might occur as a bilateral anomaly. The value of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring in detection of iatrogenic acute versus delayed onset C...

INTRODUCTION Perioperative irradiation is often combined with spine tumor surgery. Radiation is known to be detrimental to healing process of bone fusion. We tried to investigate bone fusion rate in spine tumor surgery cases with perioperative radiation therapy (RT) and to analyze significant factors affecting successful bone fusion. METHODS Study cohort was 33 patients who underwent spinal t...
