이 교수의 연구실은 척추외과 수술의 안정성과 정밀도를 향상시키기 위한 신기술 개발에 주력하고 있습니다. 특히 내시경을 활용한 척추디스크 수술인 전퇴요추경추내시경레이저분쇄술(SELD)의 임상적 유효성과 안전성을 평가하며, 수술 시간 단축과 합병증 감소를 위한 수술 보조 기구 개발에도 기여하고 있습니다. 최근에는 수술 후 기능 회복과 통증 완화를 동시에 고려한 비침습적 치료 전략에 대한 임상 연구를 지속하고 있습니다.

The novel dural protector and the knot pusher for water-tight sutures improved the efficacy and safety of decompression and discectomy; however, a prolonged operative time was a drawback.
Incomplete decompression, recurrent herniation, epidural hematoma, dural tear, and subchondral osteonecrosis were identified as complications of SELD, although the overall rate of complications was low. Practice with the procedure and careful patient selection can lower the risk of complications.
<b>Context/Objective:</b> Trans-sacral epiduroscopic laser decompression (SELD) is an alternative to microscopic open lumbar discectomy (OLD). SELD and OLD for L5-S1 lumbar disc herniation (LDH) have not been compared. We compared clinical results, including pain control, between SELD and OLD.<b>Design:</b> Retrospective analysis.<b>Setting:</b> Korean hospital.<b>Participants:</b> Eighty patients treated with SELD (n = 40) or microscopic OLD (n = 40) for L5-S1 LDH.<b>Interventions:</b> N/A.<b>O

A rare case of solitary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arising from the lumbar spinal nerve root is reported. A 37-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of progressive numbness and paraparesis in both legs. The initial diagnosis was benign primary intradural extramedullary tumor including schwannoma and meningioma. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. While a well-defined T1 isointense mass is common in primary spinal schwannoma, the present case was atypi
The reoperation rate, preoperative risk factors, reason for revision, reoperation type, clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and time interval between index and re-surgery were different between the primary fusion and primary decompression. A better understanding of disease pathophysiology and surgical procedure characteristics will facilitate improvement in disease management and the development of treatment strategies.
Stand-alone expandable cage fusion can restore local lordosis; however, global sagittal balance was not restored. Furthermore, implant safety has not yet been proven.
<i>Background and Objectives</i>: Symptomatic adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) is a common complication after spinal intervention, particularly interbody fusion. Stand-alone posterior expandable cages enable interbody fusion with preservation of the previous operation site, and screw-related complications are avoided. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinicoradiologic outcomes of stand-alone posterior expandable cages for ASD with LSC
