plexus injury. Few studies report the rate of revision surgeries following free functional muscle transfers. We examinedthe reoperation rate and indication for reoperation after primary reconstruction of upper extremity function with a freegracilis transfer after brachial plexus injury.Methods: From 2003-2016, we identified 25 patients who underwent a free functional gracilis ...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common degenerative spine diseases. Surgical options are largely divided into decompression only and decompression with arthrodesis. Recent randomized trials showed that surgery was more effective than nonoperative treatment for carefully selected patients with lumbar stenosis. However, some patients require reoperation because of com...

BACKGROUND Lumbar discectomy and laminectomy in patients with intervertebral disc herniation (IDH) is common, with variable reported reoperation rates. Our study examined which baseline characteristics might be risk factors for reoperation and compared outcomes between patients who underwent reoperation and those who did not. METHODS We performed a retrospective subgroup analysis of patients ...

BACKGROUND The reoperation rate, including for adjacent segment disease (ASD), is lower following multilevel lumbar laminectomy with noninstrumented versus instrumented fusions. METHODS This study reviews selected literature focusing on the reoperation rate, including for ASD, following multilevel laminectomies with noninstrumented versus instrumented fusions. Several prior studies document a...

in this retrospective study, 510 infants and children with patent ductus arteriosus (pda) who underwent surgery at the shahid rajai heart hospital in tehran were evaluated to determine the rate of surgical complications, morbidity and mortality. 30 patients (6%) developed minor to major complications postoperatively. four patients who had undergone pda ligation without division required reopera...
