Minimally Invasive Retropleural Thoracic Diskectomy: Step-by-Step Operative Planning, Execution, and Results.

Thoracic disk herniation is rare and difficult to treat.

Lateral retropleural thoracic diskectomies performed at a single institution from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2020, were reviewed. Clinical and outcome data were collected and analyzed. The retropleural... Twelve patients were treated during the study interval. Their average (SD) age was 44.2 (9.5) years; 10 of 12 were men. Eleven patients presented with thoracic myelopathy.

Comparison of Postoperative Opioid Use After Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion or Posterior Cervical Fusion.

Posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) are two main surgical management options for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Although ACDF is less ... We retrospectively identified all patients undergoing 2-level to 4-level ACDF or PCF at a single center from 2017 to 2021. Our state's prescription drug-monitoring program was queried for filled opioi... We included 211 ACDF patients and 91 PCF patients. Patients undergoing PCF used more opioids during admission (126.7 vs. 51.0 MME, P < 0.001) and refilled more MMEs in the short-term (118.2 vs. 86.1, ... PCF is initially more painful than ACDF but does not lead to persistent opioid use. Surgeons should optimize multimodal analgesia protocols to reduce long-term narcotic usage rather than change the su...

Contralateral Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Infarction After Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion: A Case Report.

A 70-year-old man underwent anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) of the C3/4 and C4/5 levels by a left-sided approach to address canal stenosis causing right arm weakness. Intraoperative neu... Although rare, possible intraoperative stroke should be considered when there are changes in motor or sensory evoked potentials. In addition, considerations should be given to pursue carotid stenosis ...

Superior Laryngeal Nerve Palsy After Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion: A Case Report and Cadaveric Description.

Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) injury after high cervical dissection can result in changes in vocal pitch due to cricothyroid denervation and dysphagia with aspiration risk because of decreased sensat... We describe a 69-year-old singer with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent elective C3/4 and C4/5 anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion. Postoperatively, the patient reported changes in his... The SLN is a critical structure vulnerable to iatrogenic injury during high cervical dissections for anterior approaches to the spine. Therefore, it is critical for spine surgeons to have a firm under...

Use of Cannulated Reamers to Facilitate Thoracic Diskectomy Using a Minimally Invasive Retropleural Thoracotomy Approach-Surgical Technique.

The surgical treatment of symptomatic thoracic disk herniations is technically challenging. In the past decade, a minimally invasive retropleural thoracotomy approach has become more popular to treat ... To describe a novel surgical technique for performing a thoracic diskectomy using a minimally invasive lateral approach using cannulated reamers to facilitate bone removal.... This technique was used in 7 consecutive patients who presented with thoracic myelopathy from a thoracic disk herniation. First, a standard lateral minimally invasive retropleural approach to the thor... All 7 patients who underwent thoracic diskectomy using this approach had stable or improved neurologic function postoperatively. There were no complications related to the use of the cannulated reamer... The use of cannulated reamers provides a simple and efficient method for safe bone removal to facilitate minimally invasive thoracic diskectomy using a lateral approach. This is an easily reproducible...

A Novel Cervical Vertebral Bone Quality Score Independently Predicts Cage Subsidence After Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion.

Surgeons can preoperatively assess bone quality using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography; however, this is not feasible for all patients. Recently, a MRI-based scoring system was ... To create a similar MRI-based scoring system for the cervical spine (C-VBQ), correlate C-VBQ scores with computed tomography-Hounsfield units (HU), and evaluate the utility of this scoring system to i... Demographic, procedure-related, and radiographic data were collected for patients. Pearson correlation test was used to determine the correlation between C-VBQ and HU. Cage subsidence was defined as ≥... Of 59 patients who underwent single-level ACDF, subsidence was found in 17 (28.8%). Mean C-VBQ scores were 2.22 ± 0.36 for no subsidence levels and 2.83 ± 0.38 ( P < .001) for subsidence levels. On mu... We found that a higher C-VBQ score was significantly associated with cage subsidence after ACDF. Furthermore, there was a significant negative correlation between C-VBQ and HU. The C-VBQ score may be ...

Comparison of Fusion versus Nonunion After 4-Level and 5-Level Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion With Anterior Plate Fixation.

Nonunion remains a concern in multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), yet there are limited data on nonunion after 4 to 5-level ACDF. In fact, the largest series on 4-level or 5-lev... To assess nonunion after 4 to 5-level ACDF.... Forty-one patients treated with 4 to 5-level ACDF with minimum of 12-month radiographic follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Nonunion was found in 25 patients (61%) and 42 levels (25%) and complet... One-level nonunion was by far the most common pattern compared with multilevel nonunion. Nonunion occurred more frequently at the caudal than the cranial or middle segments ( P < .0001). There were si... The nonunion rate for 4-level and 5-level ACDF may be higher than previously reported. Symptomatic nonunion remains a major reason for reoperation after multilevel ACDF.
