Study Design.: Retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: To clinically evaluate saphenous nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SSEPs) as a reliable and predictable way to detect upper lumbar plexus injury intraoperatively during lateral lumbar trans-psoas interbody fusion (LLIF).
Background Context: Previous studies have found an association between mental illness and poor outcomes in spine surgery, but little is known about the effects of depression and/or anxiety on the adult spinal deformity population. In addition, most relevant studies exclusively focused on the lumbar spine and had relatively small patient sizes.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether adult spinal deformity patients with depression and/or anxiety have an increased risk of postoperative complications and reoperation following posterior thoracolumbar spinal surgery.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between multiple cryoprobes was investigated to determine whether they work in an additive or synergistic fashion in an in vivo animal model because 1.47 mm (17-gauge) cryoprobes have been introduced to the armamentarium for renal cryotherapy.
Methods: Laparoscopic-guided percutaneous cryoablation was performed in both renal poles of 3 pigs using 3 IceRod cryoprobes.
Purpose: Pneumoperitoneum is known to decrease blood flow to the kidney during laparoscopy. We investigated if this change in blood flow would increase the size of the cryolesion.
Materials And Methods: Twelve Yorkshire swine underwent laparoscopy-guided percutaneous cryoablation of the upper and lower pole of each kidney at four randomized pneumoperitoneum pressures (10, 15, 20, and 25 mm Hg).
