Long-term efficacy of microendoscopic laminotomy for lumbar spinal stenosis in advanced degenerative spondylolisthesis with or without dynamic spinal instability: a propensity score-matching analysis
CONCLUSIONS: MEL may have good long-term results in patients with DS without dynamic instability. Women with dynamic instability may require additional fusion surgery in approximately 25% of cases for a period of ≥ 5 years.PMID:38669704 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE231075 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Barriers to overlapping complex and general spine surgery at a tertiary academic hospital
CONCLUSIONS: The data in this study indicate that estimates for pre- and postsurgical times alone are not sufficient to allow for overlapping surgery. The average cut-time duration of ACDF was 84 minutes; the average presurgical time for deformity was 68 minutes. This highlights the critical analysis for further examination of optimal scheduling, on-time first start, turnover periods, and the orchestration of all members of the providing team to optimize the cutting time for safe and consistent implementation of overlapping spine surgery.PMID:38669714 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE23771 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Objective assessment of postural ergonomics in neurosurgery: integrating wearable technology in the operating room
CONCLUSIONS: Wearable technology is feasible to assess postural ergonomics and provide objective biofeedback to neurosurgeons during spine and cranial procedures.

Comparing posterior cervical foraminotomy with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in radiculopathic patients: an analysis from the Quality Outcomes Database
CONCLUSIONS: The two procedures were found to be offered to different populations, with ACDF being selected for patients with more complicated pathologies and symptoms. After individual matching, posterior foraminotomy was associated with a higher reoperation risk within 1 year after surgery compared to ACDF (4.2% vs 1.9%). In terms of 12-month PROs, posterior foraminotomy was noninferior to ACDF in improving quality of life and neck pain. The two procedures also performed similarly in improving NDI scores and arm pain, but ACDF patients had higher maximal satisfaction rates.PMID:38626479 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE221280 (...
