A Comparison of Minimally Invasive and Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Grade 1 Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: An Analysis of the Prospective Quality Outcomes Database.
(Neurosurgery, 2020-09)<h4>Background</h4>It remains unclear if minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) is comparable to traditional, open TLIF because of the limitations of the prior small-sample-size, single-center ... -
A comparison of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and decompression alone for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2019-05)OBJECTIVEThe optimal minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approach for grade 1 lumbar spondylolisthesis is not clearly elucidated. In this study, the authors compared the 24-month patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after ... -

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 ... -
Comparison of Complications and Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Between Nonobese and Obese Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Undergoing Minimally Invasive Surgery.
(World neurosurgery, 2016-03)<h4>Objective</h4>Obesity can be associated with increased complications and potentially worse outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the impact of obesity on complications and outcomes in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) ... -
Comparison of radiographic results after minimally invasive, hybrid, and open surgery for adult spinal deformity: a multicenter study of 184 patients.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2014-05)<h4>Object</h4>Various surgical approaches, including open, minimally invasive, and hybrid techniques, have gained momentum in the management of adult spinal deformity. However, few data exist on the radiographic outcomes ... -
Comparison of two minimally invasive surgery strategies to treat adult spinal deformity.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-04)<h4>Object</h4>Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are becoming a more common means of treating adult spinal deformity (ASD). The aim of this study was to compare the hybrid (HYB) surgical approach, involving minimally ... -
Complications in adult spinal deformity surgery: an analysis of minimally invasive, hybrid, and open surgical techniques.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2014-05)<h4>Object</h4>It is hypothesized that minimally invasive surgical techniques lead to fewer complications than open surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The goal of this study was to analyze matched patient cohorts ... -
Correlation of return to work with patient satisfaction after surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis: an analysis of the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2020-05)<h4>Objective</h4>Return to work (RTW) and satisfaction are important outcome measures after surgery for degenerative spine disease. The authors queried the prospective Quality Outcomes Database (QOD) to determine if RTW ... -
Correlation of the Modified Japanese Orthopedic Association With Functional and Quality-of-Life Outcomes After Surgery for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Quality Outcomes Database Study.
(Neurosurgery, 2022-12)<h4>Background</h4>The modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score is a widely used and validated metric for assessing severity of myelopathy. Its relationship to functional and quality-of-life outcomes after surgery ... -
Defining the minimum clinically important difference for grade I degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis: insights from the Quality Outcomes Database.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2018-01)OBJECTIVE Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) play a pivotal role in defining the value of surgical interventions for spinal disease. The concept of minimum clinically important difference (MCID) is considered the new standard ... -
