Lumbar degenerative disease is a common problem in an aging society. Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique that utilizes a retroperitoneal antepsoas corridor to treat lumbar degenerative disease. OLIF has theoretical advantages over other lumbar fusion techniques, such as a lower risk of lumbar plexus injury than direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF). Previous studies have reported favorable clinical and radiological outcomes of OLIF in various

STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to analyze the relationship between the presence and severity of depression and low back pain (LBP) in a representative sample of the general population using a self-report screening questionnaire for depression. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: There is increasing evidence supporting an association between depression and LBP. However, the degree of the association between these two conditions in the general population is poorl

OBJECTIVES: Oblique lateral interbody fusion is considered a useful surgical option for various lumbar degenerative diseases with favorable clinical results and few complications. However, clinical outcomes following oblique lateral interbody fusion stratified according to the preoperative diagnosis have not been fully evaluated in a large cohort. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes following oblique lateral interbody fusion for lumbar degenerative disease and

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) for early postoperative complications in elderly patients (aged 65 years or older) following lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: CGA is a multidisciplinary evaluation modality proven to be effective in various fields of geriatrics. However, limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of CGA in lumbar spinal stenosis pat

본 논문에서는 먼저 네트워크와 네트워크 분석 방법을 자세히 소개하였다. 이러한 소개에 뒤이어 네트워크 분석방법의 국제정치학적 적용의 시도로 서, 1950년부터 2002년까지의 국제체제에 존재하 는 모든 국가 간에 이루어진 군사무기 이전의 자 료 (SIPRI Arms Transfers Database)를 사용하 여 50여 년간의 군사무기 네트워크에 대한 고찰을 국제정치학계에서는 처음으로 시도하였다. 본 연구 는 국제체제 차원에서의, 그리고 아시아 지역에서 의 지난 50여 년간의 군사무기 네트워크 구조와 주요행위자들에 대하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서의 네트워크 분석의 결과들을 간단히 정리하면 다음 과 같다. 첫째, 국제체제 차원에서나 아시아지역 차 원에서의 군사무기 이전의 네트워크는 1950년부터 2002년까지 몇몇 주요 행위자들에 의해 지배되어 오고 있다. 둘째, 이러한 몇몇 행위자들의 무기이전 네트워크 지배 경향은 국제체제 차원에서보다 아 시아지역에서 미세하지만 더 강력히 이루어져

Objectives To evaluate survival and functional outcomes in surgically‐treated spinal metastasis patients and to identify the prognostic value of the remaining options for systemic treatment. Methods The current study reviewed 100 consecutive patients who received surgery for spinal metastasis in a single center from March 2012 to June 2016. The decision for surgery had been made in a weekly multidisciplinary tumor board after considering multiple factors. Among these factors, those associated wi

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of unknown etiology that commonly affects adolescents, imposing significant socioeconomic burdens. Effective management necessitates a comprehensive approach that takes into account multiple factors, including growth potential and psychological issues. Despite significant advancements in AIS management, several questions regarding optimal treatment strategies persist. Recent technological advancements are transforming the tre

Indirect decompression showed lower odds of developing ASDeg and undergoing reoperation for ASDeg after lumbar interbody fusion surgery in this meta-analysis. However, the limited number and quality of the included studies should be considered when interpreting the results.

Biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) is minimally invasive and therefore benefits both surgeons and patients. However, concerning complications include dural tears and neural tissue injuries. In this study, we aimed to develop a deep learning model for neural tissue segmentation to enhance the safety and efficacy of endoscopic spinal surgery. We used frames extracted from videos of 28 endoscopic spine surgeries, comprising 2307 images for training and 635 images for validation. A U-Net-like

To compare total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for single spinal metastasis, we undertook a single center retrospective study. We identified patients who had undergone TES or SABR for a single spinal metastasis between 2000 and 2019. Medical records and images were reviewed for patient and tumor characteristics, and oncologic outcomes. Patients who received TES were matched to those who received SABR to compare local control and survival. A total of 8
