The cumulative reoperation rate after 5 years was 13.4% and half of the reoperations occurred during the first postoperative year. With the exception of laminectomy, the reoperation rates of the other procedures were not different from that of open discectomy.

The potential benefits of MIS-TLIF might be present in the early recovery period after surgery. Long-term outcomes were similar with both MIS-TLIF and open-TLIF.

PEID may be applied comfortably even for less-experienced surgeons because of the familiar anatomy with open surgery.

Study Design Case series. Objective Posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical diskectomy (PECD) can preserve the disk in patients with a foraminal disk herniation. However, progressive angulation at the operated segment is a concern, especially for patients with cervical lordosis < 10 degrees. The change in cervical lordosis after posterior PECD was analyzed. Methods Medical records were reviewed of 32 consecutive patients (22 men, 10 women; mean age, 49 ± 12 years) who had single-level foramin

Large ventral IDEM spinal cord tumors can be completely removed using a posterior approach and conventional laminectomy. An understanding of the anatomical and growth characteristics of these tumors is extremely important for successful removal. However, this approach should be applied prudently and with a thorough understanding of its limitations.

The stand-alone cage and autologous bone graft with plating had similar clinical outcomes, but stand-alone cage fusion may be disadvantageous from a radiological viewpoint.

Using a multidisciplinary approach, quality of life can be improved for fragile patients with spinal metastasis.

PEID with dissection of the scar tissue from the medial facet joint rather than from the neural tissue may be an effective alternative surgical method for recurrent disk herniation.
