Aim: To assess the effectiveness and safety of Virtual Reality (VR) simulations for education of posterior spinal instrumentation.
Material And Methods: Participants were instructed to apply Cervical-Thoracic-Lumbar and Sacral posterior instrumentation techniques using the VR. Each participant underwent a qualitative assessment of the use of the VR.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two pain management techniques, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and quadratus lumborum block (QLB), in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy, focusing on reducing opioid use and pain levels.
- Both ESPB and QLB significantly reduced opioid consumption and pain scores compared to a control group in the postoperative period, showing effectiveness as pain management strategies.
- Although both techniques were beneficial, no significant differences were found in opioid usage or pain scores between ESPB and QLB groups, indicating that either method could be suitable for reducing opioid dependence after surgery.
To prospectively investigate the effect of music therapy on patient's anxiety and pain level during retrograde intrarenal surgery under spinal anesthesia. 286 patients aged above 18 years, who underwent Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) under spinal anesthesia for renal or ureteral calculi were evaluated between January 2023 and June 2023 by a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical protocol. Patients were randomized into 2 groups.

This study aims to present outcomes from spinal cases operated on using the freehand technique and neuronavigation with an O-arm in our clinic. Additionally, we investigate the impact of surgical experience on outcomes by comparing early and late cases operated on with neuronavigation.
