Correlation between Preoperative MRI Parameters and Oswestry Disability Index in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Retrospective Study.

: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative condition posing significant challenges in clinical management. Despite the use of radiological parameters and patient-reported outcome measures like the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for evaluation, there is limited understanding of their interrelationship. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between preoperative MRI parameters and ODI scores in patients with LSS undergoing surgical treatment.

Minimizing blood loss in laparoscopic myomectomy with temporary occlusion of the hypogastric artery.

Introduction: Uterine leiomyomas are common benign pelvic tumors. Currently, laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is the preferred treatment option for women in the fertile age group with symptomatic myomas. The authors hypothesize that combining LM with a bilateral temporary occlusion of the hypogastric artery (TOHA) using vascular clips minimizes uterine blood flow during surgery and can significantly reduce surgery-associated blood loss.

Cohort study on the relationship between morphologic parameters of paravertebral muscles, BMI and lumbar lordosis on the severity of lumbar stenosis.

Introduction: There is a growing body of literature separately linking lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with various factors such as paravertebral muscle (PVM) impaired function/morphology, lordosis or BMI. However, their interplay is yet to be known. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between PVM morphology, BMI and lumbar lordosis in a population with a surgical indication for LSS.

Reduction of spondylolisthesis and sagittal balance correction by anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF).

Purpose: Long time recognized as a cause of lumbar stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis has an evolution in interrelation with sagittal balance. This study aimed to assess the role of ALIF in correcting the sagittal balance in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Material And Methods: Twenty patients aged between 47 and 70 years were operated between July 2011 and September 2014 for degenerative spondylolisthesis by ALIF.
