A standardized nomenclature for cervical spine soft-tissue release and osteotomy for deformity correction: clinical article.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2013-09)<h4>Object</h4>Cervical spine osteotomies are powerful techniques to correct rigid cervical spine deformity. Many variations exist, however, and there is no current standardized system with which to describe and classify ... -
A survey-based study of wrong-level lumbar spine surgery: the scope of the problem and current practices in place to help avoid these errors.
(World neurosurgery, 2013-03)<h4>Objective</h4>To understand better the scope of wrong-level lumbar spine surgery and current practices in place to help avoid such errors.<h4>Methods</h4>The Joint Section on Disorders of the Spine and Peripheral Nerves ... -
Adult Spinal Deformity Patients Recall Fewer Than 50% of the Risks Discussed in the Informed Consent Process Preoperatively and the Recall Rate Worsens Significantly in the Postoperative Period.
(Spine, 2015-07)<h4>Study design</h4>Recall of the informed consent process in patients undergoing adult spinal deformity surgery and their family members was investigated prospectively.<h4>Objective</h4>To quantify the percentage recall ... -
Approach Selection: Multiple Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion to Recreate Lumbar Lordosis Versus Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy: When, Why, How?
(Neurosurgery clinics of North America, 2018-07)Restoration of physiologic lumbar lordosis is a fundamental principle of spinal deformity surgery. Techniques using multilevel anterior lumbar interbody fusion or pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) are described. Multilevel ... -
Are Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeons or Classical Open Spine Surgeons More Consistent with Their Treatment of Adult Spinal Deformity?
(World neurosurgery, 2022-09)<h4>Objective</h4>Spine surgeons have a heuristic sense of how to surgically restore alignment and address adult spinal deformity (ASD) symptoms, but consensus on the extent of treatment remains unclear. We sought to determine ... -
Assessing the differences in characteristics of patients lost to follow-up at 2 years: results from the Quality Outcomes Database study on outcomes of surgery for grade I spondylolisthesis.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2020-02)OBJECTIVE:Loss to follow-up has been shown to bias outcomes assessment among studies utilizing clinical registries. Here, the authors analyzed patients enrolled in a national surgical registry and compared the baseline ... -
Can a Minimal Clinically Important Difference Be Achieved in Elderly Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Who Undergo Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery?
(World neurosurgery, 2016-02)<h4>Background</h4>Older age has been considered a relative contraindication to complex spinal procedures. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques to treat patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) have emerged with ... -
Cervical laminoplasty versus laminectomy and posterior cervical fusion for cervical myelopathy: propensity-matched analysis of 24-month outcomes from the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2023-08)<h4>Objective</h4>Compared with laminectomy with posterior cervical fusion (PCF), cervical laminoplasty (CL) may result in different outcomes for those operated on for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The aim of this ... -
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy with severe axial neck pain: is anterior or posterior approach better?
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2023-01)<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of this study was to determine whether multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) or posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion (PCLF) is superior for patients with cervical spondylotic ... -
Characteristics of patients who return to work after undergoing surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy: a Quality Outcomes Database study.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2023-05)<h4>Objective</h4>Return to work (RTW) is an important surgical outcome for patients who are employed, yet a significant number of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) who are employed undergo cervical spine ... -
Classifying Patients Operated for Spondylolisthesis: A K-Means Clustering Analysis of Clinical Presentation Phenotypes.
(Neurosurgery, 2021-11)<h4>Background</h4>Trials of lumbar spondylolisthesis are difficult to compare because of the heterogeneity in the populations studied.<h4>Objective</h4>To define patterns of clinical presentation.<h4>Methods</h4>This is ... -
Clinical and radiographic parameters associated with best versus worst clinical outcomes in minimally invasive spinal deformity surgery.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2016-07)OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are increasingly used to treat adult spinal deformity. However, standard minimally invasive spinal deformity techniques have a more limited ability to restore sagittal ... -
Commentary: Appropriate Use Criteria for Lumbar Degenerative Scoliosis: Developing Evidence-based Guidance for Complex Treatment Decisions.
(Neurosurgery, 2017-03)Lumbar degenerative scoliosis is a relatively common problem, and is being treated more frequently due to the confluence of an aging population and an increased capacity and willingness to manage difficult problems in older ... -
