Comparative analysis of the impacts of 30-day perioperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures following multilevel anterior versus posterior cervical fusion.

Objective: Many studies have compared outcomes following anterior and posterior cervical fusion, yet the differences in the impacts of perioperative complications on outcomes have not been well studied. This study aimed to assess the differences in the effects of 30-day perioperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after multilevel anterior versus posterior cervical fusion.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent anterior or posterior cervical fusion at three or more levels between 2014 and 2020 were analyzed.

The Impact of L4-L5 Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion on 2-Year Adjacent-level Parameters.

Objective: This study evaluates the impact of L4-L5 minimally invasive surgery (MIS)- transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) on adjacent-level parameters.

Methods: This is a retrospective study performed on consecutive patients between January 2015 and December 2019. The index- and adjacent-level segmental lordosis (SL) and disc angle (DA) were measured.
