Article Synopsis
- This systematic review compared the effectiveness and safety of two surgical methods—anterior cervical controllable antedisplacement and fusion (ACAF) and anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF)—for treating ossification of the cervical posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in patients.
- It included 5 studies with 366 participants and found that ACAF had significantly fewer complications, such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and better postoperative outcomes, including improvements in neck disability, angle alignment, and spinal measurements.
- However, ACAF required a longer operation time than ACCF, with no notable differences in blood loss or length of hospital stays between the two surgical options.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked into what factors could make spinal fusion (a type of surgery for the spine) fail.
- They found 39 studies involving over 7,000 patients to gather important information.
- Key risk factors included smoking, not using a special protein called BMP-2, having low vitamin D, diabetes, and certain types of surgery techniques.
In recent years, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), which are considered to affect the prognosis of spinal surgery, have been widely used in perioperative analgesia in spinal surgery, but the relationship between these two factors remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of perioperative use of NSAIDs on the prognosis of patients treated with spinal surgery. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for relevant articles published on or before July 14, 2023.

Although many studies have reported the risk factors associated with POD, the results remain unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to identify risk factors for POD among patients following spinal surgery.

There are reports in the literature on the identification of risk factors associated with rLDH; however, the results are controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to identify risk factors for rLDH among patients following spinal surgery.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The authors conducted this meta-analysis to identify risk factors for spinal epidural haematoma (SEH) among patients following spinal surgery.
Methods: The authors systematically searched Pub: Med, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for articles that reported risk factors associated with the development of SEH in patients undergoing spinal surgery from inception to 2 July 2022. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was estimated using a random-effects model for each investigated factor.
