MINIMAL INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY
In general, the goal of minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery is to stabilize the vertebral bones and spinal joints and/or relieve the pressure being applied to the spinal nerves — often a result of conditions such as spinal instability, bone spurs, herniated discs, scoliosis or spinal tumours.
A spinal cord injury is often the result of an unpredictable accident or violent event. The following can all result in damage to the spinal cord:
The impact of self-retaining reactors on the paraspinal muscles during posterior spinal surgery.
Objective assessment of reduced invasiveness in MED. Compared with a conventional one-level laminotomy.
The changes in the above figure levels post-operatively. At each time point, the open laminotomy group showed statistically higher IL-6 values than both the MED MD groups. Between the MED and MD groups, however, there was no difference detected. Significantly different from the MED group (p<0.05)
CRP values 1 day post-operatively. The mean CRP level in the MED group was 0.91+0.18mg/dI, 1.76+0.36mg/dI in the MD group, and 5.44+0.94 mg/dI the open laminotomy group. No significant differences were observed between the MED and MD groups. Significantly different from the MED group (P<0.05)
