Spinal epidural abscess associated with epidural catheterization: report of a case and a review of the literature. (1/710)

We describe a 53-year-old man who developed a catheter-related epidural abscess 8 days after left upper lobectomy for lung cancer. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected in a culture of the epidural pus. Magnetic resonance imaging was essential for the diagnosis of epidural abscess and for determining the extent of spread. The patient was treated by laminectomy and administration of appropriate antibiotics, with almost complete recovery, except for urinary retention. A literature search yielded 29 additional cases of catheter-related epidural abscess. The median duration of catheterization was 4 days and the median time to onset of the clinical symptoms after catheter placement was 8 days. Eleven of the 30 patients had some underlying disorders, including malignancy or herpes zoster, or were receiving steroids. Nine of the 10 patients with thoracic epidural abscess had persistent neurological deficits, whereas 12 of the 15 patients with lumbar epidural abscess showed a full recovery after treatment. Surgical decompression was not required in six patients without significant neurological deficits, who recovered following antibiotic treatment (four patients) or percutaneous drainage (two patients). Thoracic catheters are associated with a disproportionately high incidence of epidural abscess and persistent neurological sequelae following treatment.  (+info)

Multiple disc herniations in spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda. A case report. (2/710)

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) tarda is a group of inherited dysplasias in which the spine and the epiphyses of long bones are affected from late childhood. A 19-year-old male was diagnosed as SED tarda. He had a thoracic and then lumbar disc herniations which were separated by a 4-year interval. Surgical excision was performed for each disc herniation. This is the first case report of multiple disc herniations in SED.  (+info)

The assessment of appropriate indications for laminectomy. (3/710)

We have developed criteria to determine the appropriate indications for lumbar laminectomy, using the standard procedure developed at the RAND corporation and the University of California at Los Angeles (RAND-UCLA). A panel of five surgeons and four physicians individually assessed 1000 hypothetical cases of sciatica, back pain only, symptoms of spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, miscellaneous indications or the need for repeat laminectomy. For the first round each member of the panel used a scale ranging from 1 (extremely inappropriate) to 9 (extremely appropriate). After discussion and condensation of the results into three categories laminectomy was considered appropriate in 11% of the 1000 theoretical scenarios, equivocal in 26% and inappropriate in 63%. There was some variation between the six categories of malalignment, but full agreement in 64% of the hypothetical cases. We applied these criteria retrospectively to the records of 196 patients who had had surgical treatment for herniated discs in one Swiss University hospital. We found that 48% of the operations were for appropriate indications, 29% for equivocal reasons and that 23% were inappropriate. The RAND-UCLA method is a feasible, useful and coherent approach to the study of the indications for laminectomy and related procedures, providing a number of important insights. Our conclusions now require validation by carefully designed prospective clinical trials, such as those which are used for new medical techniques.  (+info)

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane for the prevention of peridural fibrosis after spinal surgery: an experimental study. (4/710)

One of the most common complications of lumbar spine surgery is peridural fibrosis, a fibroblastic invasion of the nerve roots and the peridural sac exposed at operation. Peridural fibrosis may produce symptoms similar to those the patient experienced preoperatively and, if another spinal operation is necessary, may increase the risk of injury at reexposure. In a controlled study in dogs, we assessed the use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) as a barrier to postoperative invasion of fibrous tissue into the laminectomy defect. In 14 dogs, a two-level laminectomy was done, at L4-L5 and L6-L7. In 12 dogs, an ePTFE membrane was placed directly over the dorsal surface of the laminectomy defect at L4-L5 and within the defect (over the surface of the dura) at L6-L7. No material was implanted in two dogs (controls). Tissue for histologic studies was obtained from the controls and from ten dogs with the membrane 12 weeks postoperatively. Two dogs with the membrane underwent reoperation. The study found that there was no peridural fibrosis in seven of the ten specimens in which the ePTFE membrane had been placed directly on the dorsal surface of the laminectomy defect, some peridural fibrosis in all specimens in which the membrane had been placed within the defect, and extensive fibrosis in controls. The ePTFE membrane created an excellent plane of dissection for reoperation. No foreign-body reactions to the membrane or membrane-related infections occurred. We conclude that the ePTFE spinal membrane, when properly implanted, is an effective barrier to postsurgical fibrous invasion of the vertebral canal. Clinical studies of use of this material in spinal surgery are warranted.  (+info)

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane for the prevention of peridural fibrosis after spinal surgery: a clinical study. (5/710)

Peridural fibrosis developing after laminectomy may cause pain that can necessitate reoperation. Many materials have been used as a barrier to invasion of fibrous tissue into the vertebral canal, but the ideal material has not been found. Various studies in animals have achieved favourable results with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. In a prospective, randomized study, we compared postoperative results in 33 patients who had an ePTFE membrane implanted to cover the defect caused by laminectomy during lumbar spine decompression with the results in 33 patients in whom no material was implanted. At operation, an ePTFE membrane was placed after the decompression procedure to cover the laminectomy defect completely. Systematic clinical and MRI follow-up evaluations of patients with and without the membrane were conducted 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The effect of ePTFE membrane implantation over laminectomy sites on postoperative peridural fibrosis, pain and neurological claudication was assessed. The ePTFE-membrane group had a significantly lower rate of epidural fibrosis on MRI (P<0.0001) and of clinical manifestations of radiculalgia (P = 0.002) compared with the no-material group. Epidural fibrosis that occurred in the ePTFE group was generally less extensive than that in the no-material group. There was no significant difference in the rate of postoperative claudication in the two groups. Significantly more seromas occurred in the ePTFE group (P = 0.0002). There were no infections or other complications in either group. The results showed that placement of an ePTFE spinal membrane over the laminectomy defect produced by lumbar spine surgery provided a physical barrier to invasion of fibrous tissue into the vertebral canal, and patients with the membrane had less postoperative radicular pain.  (+info)

Is there a rational basis for post-surgical lifting restrictions? 1. Current understanding. (6/710)

Lifting restrictions postoperatively are quite common, but there appears to be little scientific basis for them. Lifting restrictions are inhibitory in terms of return to work and may be a factor in chronicity. The mean functional spinal motion unit stiffness changes with in vitro or computer-simulated discectomies, facetectomies and laminectomies were reviewed from the literature. We modified the NIOSH lifting equation to include another multiplier related to stiffness change post surgery. The new recommended lifts were computed for different lifting conditions seen in industry. The reduction of rotational stiffness ranged from 21% to 41% for a discectomy, 1% to 59% for a facetectomy and 4% to 16% for a partial laminectomy. The recommended lifts based on our modified equation were adjusted accordingly. There is no rational basis for current lifting restrictions. The risk to the spine is a function of many other variables as well as weight (i.e., distance of weight from body). The adjusted NIOSH guidelines provide a reasonable way to estimate weight restrictions and accommodations such as lifting aids. Such restrictions should be as liberal as possible so as to facilitate, not prevent, return to work. Patients need more advice regarding lifting activities and clinicians should be more knowledgeable about the working conditions and constraints of a given workplace to effectively match the solution to the patient's condition.  (+info)

Acute spinal cord compression due to intraspinal bleeding from a vertebral hemangioma: two case-reports. (8/710)

Vertebral hemangiomas can cause acute spinal cord compression either after a minor trauma or during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Failure to recognize the lesion can lead to potentially serious treatment delays. An emergency MRI scan usually establishes the diagnosis of vertebral hemangioma responsible for spinal cord compression requiring laminectomy. We report two cases showing that posterior fixation should be considered: in our experience it prevents vertebral collapse during the interval preceding secondary vertebroplasty, which, if performed, provides highly significant pain relief.  (+info)

A lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure that is also known as an open decompression. The procedure is designed to relieve the pressure that is on the spinal nerve or spinal cord by opening or widening the spinal canal. During the procedure, the lamina which is a small section of the bone on the spine is removed so that there is more room for the nerves. An open decompression, or lumbar laminectomy is typically suggested by a physician for those patients who suffer from back pain caused by neural impingement. The surgical procedure relieves the pressure by enlarging the spinal canal. Continue reading What is Lumbar Laminectomy? →. ...

Lumbar Laminectomy also known as decompression laminectomy is a procedure involving the removal of lamina from lumbar vertebrae to relieve the pressure in spinal nerves.
Degenerative disc disease can lead to spinal stenosis, when the invertebrae and bone spurs within the invertebrae put pressure on the spinal nerves. With spinal stenosis the only way to relieve back pain for San Francisco sufferers is to widen the spinal canal and remove any bone spurs putting pressure on the spinal nerves. This is done during a laminectomy. As a result the spinal nerves are no longer irritated and swelling will go down leading to a decrease in back pain. Before surgery an x-ray is done to identify which vertebrae are causing the issues in the back. These are the ones Dr. Abbi will target during surgery. In some cases a San Francisco lumbar laminectomy are done as minimally invasive surgeries. In this case the surgeon will make a few small incisions to access the spine and use small tools to remove damaged lamina and bone spurs. This saves patients the large incision used in an open procedure as well as many risks associated with open procedures. However, not every patient is a ...
Post-laminectomy syndrome is a condition in which the patient continues to experience pain and disability after a spinal surgery called a laminectomy. During a laminectomy, a layer of bone covering the back of the spinal cord (the lamina) is removed to eliminate compression on the spinal nerves. This surgery may be performed in conjunction with other back surgery, such as a discectomy, and is most often performed to relieve stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column. The development of post-laminectomy syndrome is a complication of the procedure. Post-laminectomy syndrome is a type of failed back surgery, a broader category which includes chronic pain following any spinal surgery, including spinal fusion.

Catheters were inserted into the extradural space under direct vision at the time of surgery for prolapsed intervertebral disc or lumbar canal stenosis. In the post-operative period, diamorphine (3 mg in 5 ml water) was injected through the catheter when patients requested analgesia. In only four of 49 patients was significant pain relief not achieved after extradural diamorphine injection. In four other patients it was not possible to use this method of analgesia throughout the two post-operative days as planned. As judged by the improved mobility and by grading on a linear analogue pain scale, the quality of analgesia achieved was better than after intramuscular papaveretum (10-20 mg) and extradural diamorphine was requested less frequently. There were no serious side-effects in the patients studied, although the technique was not used in patients over 55 years of age. Extradural diamorphine appeared to be less effective in two patients who had undergone re-explorations.. ...
3 days. Univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression were performed to assess the impact of hospital length of stay on unplanned readmission after adjusting for an array of patient factors.. Results:. A total of 91,102 patients, were included in the analysis. The median age of the study sample was 59 years with 50.5% males. Median length of stay varied by procedure: ACDF, Lumbar Discectomy: 1 day; Lumbar Laminectomy: 2 days, PLF: 3 days. Rate of unplanned readmission was 4.1% (3,678 patients) for all four spinal procedures[ACDF: 3.0% (n=525), Lumbar Discectomy: 3.7% (n=377), Lumbar Laminectomy: 4.4%(n=714), PLF: 4.5% (n=2062)]. Overall, LOS > 3 days was associated with an increased likelihood for unplanned readmission(OR: 1.26; CI: 1.14-1.38, Ref: LOS=3 days) while LOS< 3 days did not confer an increased risk(OR: 0.95; CI: 0.87-1.04, Ref: LOS=3 days).

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in interference on the nerves. As we age, there is progressive degeneration of the spinal elements, including the disk, the joints, and the ligaments. Developing arthritis causes the joints and ligaments in the lumbar spine to enlarge and thicken and the disks to bulge. As a result, there is narrowing of the spinal canal. The classic symptoms of spinal stenosis is leg pain and numbness that is made worse by standing and walking and relieved by leaning forward or sitting. The gold standard surgical treatment for spinal stenosis is known as a lumbar laminectomy. A lumbar laminectomy is the removal of the bony and ligamentous structures that are causing pressure on the nerves. The goal is to enable the patient to stand and walk without experiencing leg pain, weakness, and numbness. The surgery generally lasts 2-3 hours and usually requires a 2-3 day hospital stay. A lumbar laminectomy is effective in relieving leg symptoms as it is a ...
Age under 18. Overview Laminectomyis a surgical operation which involves the removal ofthe vertebral bone (lamina) either partially or completely. Laminectomy is also called decompression surgery since the operation ease the pressure on the spinal nerves or spinal cord.. Laminectomy is mostly performed for patients who have arthritis in their spine. It may cause unmanageable bone development around the spinal canal. As a result of the grown bones, the spinal canal becomes narrower, and it causes pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerves. This state is known as spinal stenosis, which may cause numbness around the arms or legs, weakness, and radiating pain. Even though laminectomy operation is a relatively safe and reliable surgery with consistent results, it is chosen to be performed only when other kinds of less invasive treatments fail such as physical therapy or injections. Also, laminectomy surgery can be performed when the patient is suffering from severe symptoms, or it can be ...
A laminectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a portion of the vertebral bone called the lamina. The back muscles are pushed aside rather than cut and the parts of the vertebra adjacent to the lamina are left intact. Recovery typically occurs within a few days. The lamina is a posterior arch of the vertebral bone lying between the spinous process (which juts out in the middle) and the more lateral pedicles and the transverse processes of each vertebra. The pair of laminae, along with the spinous process, make up the posterior wall of the bony spinal canal. Although the literal meaning of laminectomy is excision of the lamina, a conventional laminectomy in neurosurgery and orthopedics involves excision of the posterior spinal ligament and some or all of the spinous process. Removal of these structures with an open technique requires disconnecting the many muscles of the back attached to them. A laminectomy performed as a minimal spinal surgery procedure is a tissue-preserving surgery that ...

RV80 - Id hesitate to say that anything in the Netherlands is not as advanced as in LA. Laminoplasties have been around quite a while, though. I believe they may have really started in Japan, perhaps because of a hereditary tendency toward ossification of the ligamentum flavum, which is treated by posterior decompression in the form of laminectomies. They found themselves doing a lot of decompression, perhaps followed a few years later by posterior fusions because of instability resulting from the laminectomies. So they developed the laminoplasty to get around that. The procedure moved eastward from there, hitting Guam in 1996, Hawaii in 2002, and So Cal in 2005. I believe it got to in France 2009, but is currently bogged down in Belgium ...
Percutaneous endoscopic decompression (PED) is considered a minimally invasive and safe procedure in lumbar degenerative disease. Few authors report the success of PED for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) with thoracic myelopathy. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of PED versus posterior decompressive laminectomy (PDL) for TSS. We retrospectively reviewed 30 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for single-level TSS from January 1, 2015 to May 1, 2019.These patients were divided into PED (n = 16) and PDL(n = 14) group. Preoperative demographic characteristics and perioperative outcomes were reviewed. Pre- and postoperative neurological status was evaluated using the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) score and the recovery rate (RR). The patients mean age was 57.3 years (27-76) in PED group and 58.8 years (34-77) in PDL group. No statistical difference was found between two groups with regards to neurological status at pre-operative and final follow-up. The RR in
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: If you have a condition in your neck that puts pressure on your spinal cord or spinal nerves, your doctor may recommend a posterior cervical laminectomy and fusion. The spine in your neck, also called the cervical spine, has seven bones called vertebrae. The front part of each vertebra is called the vertebral body, except for the first vertebra. Between most vertebrae is a soft cushion of cartilage called an intervertebral disk. The back part of each vertebra has a curved section called the vertebral arch. Except for the first vertebra, each vertebral arch has a bony projection called the spinous process. On each side of the spinous process is a flat piece of bone called a lamina. The vertebral arch of the vertebra surrounds and protects your spinal cord, a column of nervous tissue connecting your brain to other nerves in your body. Your spinal cord passes through an enclosed space called the vertebral canal, which is formed by the vertebral arches of your vertebrae. Over
The success of posterior spinal fusion is based on your bodys ability to heal and produce new bone. Check for more information about posterior cervical laminectomy.
Lumbar Laminectomy The lamina forms a roof-like structure over the back of the spinal column. When the nerves in the spinal canal are squeezed by a degenerated disc or by bone spurs pushing into the canal, a laminectomy removes most, or all of the lamina to release pressure on the spinal nerves.. Related Document: A Patients Guide to Lumbar Laminectomy. Discectomy Surgery to take out part or all of a problem disc in the low back is called discectomy. Discectomy is done when the degenerated disc has ruptured (herniated) into the spinal canal, putting pressure on the spinal nerves. Surgeons commonly perform this operation through an incision in the low back. Before the disc material can be removed, the surgeon must first remove part of the lamina. Generally, only a small piece of the lamina is chipped away to expose the problem disc. This is called laminotomy. It usually creates enough room for the surgeon to remove the disc. If more room is needed, the surgeon may need to take out a larger ...

In a cervical laminectomy procedure, a portion of bone is removed from the spine in the neck to relieve pressure caused by cervical spinal stenosis.
Laminectomy is a type of spinal decompression surgery that removes the lamina-the back of the vertebrae which protect the spinal canal-in order to remove pressure on nerves or the spinal cord. People with spinal arthritis are especially likely to have bony overgrowths that constrict nerves.. Doctors will usually try non-operative interventions before suggesting a laminectomy. But if approaches like physical therapy, injections and medications fail-and especially if patients are experiencing severe consequences, such as difficulty walking or loss of bladder or bowel control-this surgery might help. Laminectomy is most effective for patients whose compressed nerves are causing pain to radiate down their legs or arms. Since the procedure provides more space in the spinal canal but doesnt cure arthritis, its more useful in decreasing leg and arm pain than in relieving back pain.. Procedure ...

Background Data: Muscle dissection associated with posterior approach to cervical spine usually results in local pain, muscle wasting and temporarily restricted neck movement. Use of muscle sparing spinous process splitting approach for cervical laminectomy allows decompression of the spinal cord and neural foramen if needed. Meanwhile, it does not require instrumentation, fusion and it preserves cervical spine stability.Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of spinous process splitting approach for cervical laminectomy in cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Study Design: Prospective clinical case study.Patients and Methods: Patient Sample: Fifteen patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, eleven males and 4 females with mean age 66.4±6.6 (Range 44-71) years. All patients underwent muscle sparing spinous process splitting cervical laminectomy. Outcome Measures: Operative time and blood loss were recorded. Clinical outcome was assessed by the JOA score and VAS. MRI was done 6 months postoperative to
Lateral mass screw fixation (LSF) techniques have been widely used for reconstructing and stabilizing the cervical spine; however, complications may result depending on the choice of surgeon. There are only a few reports related to LSF applications, even though fracture fixation has become a severe complication. This study establishes the three-dimensional finite element model of the lower cervical spine, and compares the stress distribution of the four LSF techniques (Magerl, Roy-Camille, Anderson, and An), following laminectomy -- to explore the risks of rupture after fixation. CT scans were performed on a healthy adult female volunteer, and Digital imaging and communication in medicine (Dicom) data was obtained. Mimics 10.01, Geomagic Studio 12.0, Solidworks 2012, HyperMesh 10.1 and Abaqus 6.12 software programs were used to establish the intact model of the lower cervical spines (C3-C7), a postoperative model after laminectomy, and a reconstructive model after applying the LSF techniques.

Epidural fibrosis often causes serious complications in patients after lumbar laminectomy and discectomy and is associated with the proliferation of fibroblasts. Suramin is known to have an obvious inhibitory effect on the coactions of many growth factors and their receptors, but little was previously known about the effect of suramin on fibroblast proliferation and the progress of epidural fibrosis. We illustrated the effect of suramin on cultured fibroblasts of rats with different concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600 mg/l). The proliferation of suramin-treated fibroblasts was evaluated by CCK-8 and western blot analysis. Additionally, in a rat model of laminectomy, different concentrations of suramin (100, 200, and 300 mg/ml) and saline were applied to the laminectomy sites locally. The effect of suramin on preventing epidural fibrosis was detected by the Rydell classification, hydroxyproline content, histological analysis, and collagen density analyses. The results of CCK-8 shown that suramin could

Foraminotomy, laminotomy and laminectomy are all types of decompression surgeries that involve widening the spinal canal to relieve pain due to nerve compression. Each procedure focuses on a different part of the spinal anatomy, and the exact location of the source of the pain will determine which surgery is to be used in each case.
Objective:The aim of the present study is to determine influence of body-mass index (BMI) on outcomes of MED for LCS.Background:Many patients undergoing decompression surgery for lumbar canal stenosis(LCS) are overweight. Literature shows relatively poor outcomes and increased peri-operative complications in obese patients undergoing decompression surgery for LCS.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is caused by reduction of the sagittal diameter of the cervical spinal canal. Normally, the canal diameter in the subaxial cervical spine is approximately 17-18 mm in adults.
Microsurgical lumbar laminoplasty is a minimally invasive technique for decompressing pinched nerves in the lumbar spine. Pinched or compressed nerves may result from herniated discs, lumbar spinal stenosis, or spondylolisthesis. The traditional technique for decompression of lumbar nerves is laminectomy, a surgical procedure developed in the early 1900s. In laminectomy, the paraspinal muscles are dissected off the spine bilaterally, that is on the left and right sides of the spinal column. The lamina and spinous process are then removed to gain access to the nerves contained within the spinal canal. The structures that are compressing the nerves (usually ligamentum flavum and herniated disc) are then trimmed until the nerves are free from compression. Laminectomy is an effective procedure for relieving pressure on spinal nerves, but during the procedure, many spinal stabilizing structures are destroyed even though they are not directly compressing the nerves (lamina, spinous process, ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - The comparison of biomechanical changes between spinous process osteotomy and conventional laminectomy. AU - Kang, Kyoung Tak. AU - Chun, Heoung Jae. AU - Son, Ju Hyun. AU - Kim, Ho Joong. AU - Moon, Seong Hwan. AU - Lee, Hwan Mo. AU - Kim, Ka Yeon. PY - 2009/8/7. Y1 - 2009/8/7. N2 - Previous studies have introduced the technique of spinous process osteotomy to decompress spinal stenosis, a procedure which aims to afford excellent visualization while minimizing destruction of tissues not directly involved in the pathologic process. However, biomechanically it has not been investigated whether the sacrifice of posterior spinous process might have potential risk of spinal instability or not, even though supra-spinous and inter-spinous ligaments are preserved. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical properties after spinous process osteotomy, using finite element analysis. The model of spinous process osteotomy exhibited no significant increase in disc ...
Back Surgery - L5-S1 Disc Herniation with Hemilaminectomy and Discectomy (Diskectomy). Shows a herniated intervertebral disc at L5-S1 compressing the spinal nerve root. Surgical steps: 1. Incision into the lower back from the spinous process of L4 to S1; 2. The removal of the inferior lamina of L5 and S1 on the left hand side (hemilaminectomy); 3. Discectomy (removal of the herniated disc) and decompression of the left nerve root.
Cervical laminoplasty is one of the newer and novel surgical procedures done on the neck for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy. This surgery is performed from the back of the neck. This surgery is done in patients who have weakness due to compression of the spinal cord in the neck.
Low back pain effects up to 80% of the worlds population. When low back pain persists, surgery is sometimes required. Unfortunately, not all spinal and back surgeries are successful. In fact, an estimated 20-40% of patients find they are still experiencing discomfort, which is labelled as post laminectomy syndrome, or failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). Failed back surgery syndrome occurs when lumbar spinal surgery does not yield the results anticipated prior to surgery. ...

Spinal stenosis is an acquired or congenital narrowing of the spinal or nerve-root canals. Surgical treatment is often effective. Acquired spinal stenosis most commonly occurs in those with degenerative disk disease and arthritic facets. If the degenerative process stabilizes and there is adequate room to accommodate the neural contents, symptomatic patients become asymptomatic. Residual stability after decompression must be assessed in patients having multilevel decompression. Fusion may be indicated. In women with osteoporosis coexisting with degenerative scoliosis and spinal stenosis, decompression for concave nerve-root compression and fusion are necessary. Spinal fusion is not indicated in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis having unilateral decompression for lateral stenosis. Patients with central-mixed stenosis may not need fusion. Patients with spinal stenosis after laminectomies and diskectomies had better results when arthrodesis was done in conjunction with repeated ecompression. ...

Background Minimally invasive laminectomy is a very effective surgical method for treating lumbar stenosis. However, this technique can be technically difficult, especially in patients suffering from severe stenosis. The contralateral decompression from a unilateral approach can result in durotomy during removal of the hypertrophied ligamentum flavum. This complication can be difficult to treat through a small working channel. Objective To detail our groups operative experience with the CO2 laser and discuss our results and previous studies in the literature reporting results. Methods The CO2 laser (Omniguide, Boston, MA) was investigated in the surgical ablation of the contralateral ligamentum flavum during minimally invasive laminectomies. Forty levels have been investigated thus far. The amount of voltage needed to adequately desiccate and remove the ligamentum flavum safely as well as the effectiveness of this technique were investigated. Results The contralateral ligamentum flavum could be ...

In many mild cases, spinal claudication can be treated without surgery. Physiotherapy and reduction in weight in obese patients can improve or stabilise symptoms. Epidural injections can significantly improve the walking distance and leg pain for several months. Painkillers usually do not work in most patients.. Surgery improves the walking distance and leg pain in the majority of patients (70-80%). Even patients in their 80s or even 90s can respond quiet dramatically to surgical decompression and become more independent and mobile. It does not, however, cure the underlying problem of wear and tear and symptoms can deteriorate some years later again.. The operation of choice is a laminectomy or intersegmental decompression. Lately, so-called interspinous spacers (for example X-stop, Wallis ligaments, In-space and others) have been developed which can also improve the stenosis by stretching the ligaments and opening the channels where the nerves leave the spine. There is no evidence that these ...

METHODS Prospectively collected data from 63 patients with intradural spinal tumor were analyzed in relation to scores on the multidimensional patient-rated Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) and the physician-rated modified McCormick Scale, before and at 3 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between the scores on the modified McCormick Scale preoperatively and at the 3-month follow-up, though there was a trend for improvement (p = 0.073); however, comparisons between the scores determined preoperatively and at the 12-month follow-up, as well as 3- versus 12-month follow-ups, showed a statistically significant improvement in each case (p , 0.004). The COMI scores for axial pain, peripheral pain, and back-related function showed a significant reduction (p , 0.001) from before surgery to 3 months after surgery, and thereafter showed no further change (p , 0.05) up to 12 months postoperatively. In contrast, the overall COMI score, worst pain, ...
