Article Synopsis
- - This study was a retrospective analysis involving patients who had surgery for recurrent lumbar disc herniation (ReLDH) in France, aiming to compare the outcomes of repeat microdiscectomy (RD) and instrumented surgery (IS).
- - Factors influencing the choice between RD and IS included radioclinical considerations, anatomical data, patient preference, and the surgeon's background; these factors affected surgical decisions in varying degrees for both groups.
- - The results showed that patient satisfaction and clinical improvements in symptoms and quality of life were notable, with no significant differences between the two surgical methods 12 months post-operation, achieving satisfaction rates of 80.3% to 81.5%.
Introduction: Thoracolumbar adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can continue to progress beyond skeletal maturity. Ideal timing of surgery remains undefined. Earlier intervention, with shorter instrumentation, incurs early partial loss of lumbar motion.

The aim of our study is to provide technical details about a flap technique using the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) when approaching the lumbar spine via an anterior corridor. This can help decrease complications by protecting the adjacent vascular structures.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective 10-year study included 92 patients ˃18 years old with chronic low back pain evolving for at least 1 year. The patients had degenerative disc disease and had failed conservative treatment and underwent lumbar arthroplasty.
Transfacet screws (TFS) are an alternative to the classic bilateral pedicular screws (BPS) in addition to anterior (ALIF) or oblique (OLIF) lumbar interbody fusion. Spinal navigation could help the surgeon in technically demanding procedures in order to avoid screw malposition. Although spinal navigation is commonly used in BPS, its contribution in TFS remains unclear.
