Lymphomas are the most common nonepithelial malignancy in the head and neck region. Among these, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is the most prevalent, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype. NHL is known for its propensity for extranodal involvement, which can affect any anatomical location.

However, the ability of PPI to correct significant post-traumatic kyphosis requires further investigation. The objective of this study is to compare the amount of kyphosis correction achieved by PPI vs the traditional open posterior approach in patients presenting with significant kyphotic deformity following traumatic thoracic and TL spine injuries.

Objectives: Minimally invasive techniques have emerged as a useful tool in the treatment of neoplastic spine pathology due to decrease in surgical morbidity and earlier adjuvant treatment. The objective of this study was to analyze outcomes and complications in a cohort of unstable, symptomatic pathologic fractures treated with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF).
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze outcomes and complications of patients with thoracic and lumbar fractures in the setting of ankylosing spinal disorders (ASD) treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Methods: The operative logs from 2012 to 2019 from one academic, Level I trauma center were reviewed for cases of thoracic and lumbar spinal fractures in patients with ASD treated with a MIS approach.
Study Design: Retrospective Case Series.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate readmission rates, risk factors, and reason for unplanned 30-day readmissions after thoracolumbar spine trauma surgery.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients undergoing operative treatment for thoracic or lumbar trauma with open or minimally invasive surgical approach at a Level 1 urban trauma center.
Study Design: This was an observational cohort study of patients receiving multilevel thoracic and lumbar spine surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify which patients are at high risk for allogeneic transfusion which may allow for better preoperative planning and employment of specific blood management strategies.
Summary Of Background Data: Multilevel posterior spine surgery is associated with a significant risk for major blood loss, and allogeneic blood transfusion is common in spine surgery.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Objectives: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) represents a common postoperative complication of all elective surgeries. The aim of this study was to identify demographic, comorbid, and surgical factors risk factors for POUR in patients who underwent elective thoracolumbar spine fusion.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of bacterial infection, with the use of a contaminant control, in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
Methods: After institutional review board approval, patients undergoing elective ACDF were prospectively enrolled.
Introduction: Percutaneous minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is a treatment option for thoracolumbar fractures and we aim to evaluate its outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective matched cohort study of all patients with thoracolumbar fractures treated with MISS or open posterior approach.
Results: We included 100 MISS and 155 open patients.
