Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the relation between shifted locations of centre of rotation (COR) at each cervical level and subsequent surgical outcomes after multilevel cervical total disc replacement (MCTDR) and identifies radiological parameter that corresponded to change of COR after MCTDR. Methods: The study included a consecutive series of 24 patients who were treated with MCTDR following diagnosis of multilevel cervical disc herniation or stenosis. Numeric rating scale (NRS), range of motion (ROM) at both C2-7 segment and TDR implanted levels, and the location of COR at TDR implanted level were evaluated at pre- and post-MCTDR. These parameters were compared between patients who experienced successful and unsuccessful pain relief. Results: The inherent CORs relatively at ventro-cranial coordinates have demonstrated significant migrations to dorso-caudal locations at each cervical levels, more prominent shifts for the successful group, after MCTDR switch. The unsuccessful group showed markedly reduced C2-7 ROM and reduced angular improvement at C2-7 as well as MCTDR level after surgery in comparison with the successful group. Postoperative C2-7 ROM was related to postoperative COR along the X-axis. Conclusions: The crucial determinants for clinical success after MCTDR, other than mere preservation of the ROM both at C2-7 and TDR implanted levels, was the restoration of COR from ventro-cranial location at degenerated cervical motion segment close to normal coordinates by posterior and inferior shifts after MCTDR. The position of COR along the X-axis after MCTDR was an important factor to determine maintenance of C2-7 RO.

Abstract

Acute cervical facet fractures are increasingly being detected due to the use of cervical spine CT imaging in the initial assessment of trauma patients. For displaced cervical facet fractures with dislocations and subluxations, early surgery can decompress the spinal cord and stabilize the spine. For patients with non-displaced cervical facet fractures, the challenge in managing these patients is the determination of spinal stability. Although many of the patients with non-displaced cervical facet fractures can be managed with a cervical collar, the imaging needs to be analyzed carefully since certain fracture patterns may be better managed with early surgical stabilization.

Abstract

In both adult and pediatric populations, thoracolumbar trauma accounts for a large portion of traumatic injuries. There is a wide spectrum of injury types, including compression fractures, burst fractures, fracturedislocations, and more. The traditional treatment for many of these has been instrumented stabilization by an “open” approach. However, as minimally invasive techniques have been developed for degenerative disorders, there has been considerable interest in bringing the same benefits of decreased blood loss, improved wound exposure, and potentially decreased operative time to the trauma population. Further, “minimally invasive” is a broad category, encompassing percutaneous pedicle screw fixation, endoscopic/thoracoscopic approaches, and anterior column reconstruction. A few authors have put forward some algorithms of selecting appropriate patients for MIS techniques. However, the majority of published data has been limited to small case series with very heterogeneous pathologies. Further studies are needed to assess minimally invasive surgery for thoracolumbar spine trauma, with respect to short- and long-term clinical outcome, fusion rates/radiographic outcome, and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract

Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation (TDH) is estimated to afflict between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 1,000,000 people; affecting men more frequently than women, with the highest incidence seen at 40-50 years of age. TDH occurs at all levels of the thoracic spine but 75% of cases occur below T8, with T11-T12 being the most common site due to spinal mobility and weakness of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Manipulation of the thoracic spinal cord through the conventional posterior approach has been associated with poor outcomes. A conventional posterior approach consisting of laminectomy, cord retraction, and disc removal was historically done to treat TDH but this causes spinal cord injury and irreversible paraplegia due to cord manipulation on the relatively rigid spinal cord.The anterior approach to the spine is also intimidating to the spine surgeon due to the unique anatomy of the thoracic spine. Conventional open approaches to the thoracic spine involve a thoracotomy, rib resection, and corpectomy to view the spinal cord anteriorly. This has been associated with perioperative morbidity due to surgical site pain, difficult/painful breathing, shoulder girdle dysfunction, and wound healing problems. In order to spare the patients suffering from these postoperative iatrogenic sequelae, the author presents two different minimally invasive approach techniques; percutaneous endoscopic thoracic discectomy (PETD) vs. thoracoscopy, each applied to a different indication or thoracic pathology, to gain an enough but safe access to the ventral thoracic spinal canal through minimized surgical damages without yielding a postsurgical morbidity.

Abstract

Use of pedicle screws is widespread in spinal surgery for degenerative, traumatic, and oncological diseases. The conventional technique is based on the recognition of anatomic landmarks, preparation and palpation of cortices of the pedicle under control of an intraoperative C-arm (iC-arm) fluoroscopy. With these conventional methods, the median pedicle screw accuracy ranges from 86.7% to 93.8%, even if perforation rates range from 21.1% to 39.8%. The development of novel intraoperative navigational techniques, commonly referred to as image-guided surgery (IGS), provide simultaneous and multiplanar views of spinal anatomy. IGS technology can increase the accuracy of spinal instrumentation procedures and improve patient safety. These systems, such as fluoroscopy-based image guidance ("virtual fluoroscopy") and computed tomography (CT)-based computer-guidance systems, have sensibly minimized risk of pedicle screw misplacement, with overall perforation rates ranging from between 14.3% and 9.3%, respectively. "Virtual fluoroscopy" allows simultaneous two-dimensional (2D) guidance in multiple planes, but does not provide any axial images; quality of images is directly dependent on the resolution of the acquired fluoroscopic projections. Furthermore, computer-assisted surgical navigation systems decrease the reliance on intraoperative imaging, thus reducing the use of intraprocedure ionizing radiation. The major limitation of this technique is related to the variation of the position of the patient from the preoperative CT scan, usually obtained before surgery in a supine position, and the operative position (prone). The next technological evolution is the use of an intraoperative CT (iCT) scan, which would allow us to solve the position-dependent changes, granting a higher accuracy in the navigation system.

Abstract

Neurosurgery is among the newest of surgical disciplines, appearing in its modern incarnation at the dawn of twentieth century with the work of Harvey Cushing and contemporaries. Neurosurgical ethics involves challenges of manipulating anatomical locus of human identity and concerns of surgeons and patients who find themselves bound together in that venture. In recent years, neurosurgery ethics has taken on greater relevance as changes in society and technology have brought novel questions into sharp focus. Change of expanded armamentarium of techniques for interfacing with the human brain and spine — demand that we use philosophical reasoning to assess merits of technical innovations. Bioethics can be defined as systematic study of moral challenges in medicine, including moral vision, decisions, conduct, and policies related to medicine. Every surgeon should still take the Hippocratic Oath seriously and consider it a basic guide to follow good medical ethics in medical practice. It is simple and embodies three of the four modern bioethics principles – Respecting autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition often affecting young and healthy individuals around the world. Currently, scientists are pressured on many fronts to develop an all-encompassing “cure” for paralysis. While scientific understanding of central nervous system (CNS) regeneration has advanced greatly in the past years, there are still many unknowns with regard to inducing successful regeneration. A more realistic approach is required if we are interested in improving the quality of life of a large proportion of the paralyzed population in a more expedient time frame.
