Retrospective comparison of cortical bone trajectory and pedicle screw in lumbar fusion for patients over 80, including sagittal balance: a single-center study.
BMC Geriatr

Department of Neurosurgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50, Yonsei-Ro, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul, 03722, Republic of Korea.
Background: Comparative studies of posterior lumbar interbody fusion with cortical bone trajectory and pedicle screw in older patients, particularly in those aged ≥ 80 years, are rare. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical and surgical outcomes following posterior lumbar interbody fusion with pedicle screw fixation compared to cortical bone trajectory in patients aged ≥ 80 years with degenerative lumbar spine disease.
Methods: We included 68 patients aged ≥ 80 years who underwent degenerative lumbar spinal surgery at our spine center between January 2011 and December 2020.
Traumatic cervical spinal cord injury in southeastern Norway: acute treatment, specialized rehabilitation referral and mortality.

December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) is a serious condition that requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach involving care at a neurotrauma center (NTC) and specialized rehabilitation. Contemporary population-based studies of cSCI are important for ensuring the quality and planning of health care approaches for these patients.
Methods: This is a population-based cohort study of patients with traumatic cSCI who were admitted to the NTC in Southeast Norway between 2015 and 2022.

Effectiveness of percutaneous key lesion endoscopic lumbar decompression for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis in octogenarian patients.

Department of Neurosurgery, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan.
Introduction: With increasing life expectancy, degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) has become a common problem in the geriatric population. LSS reduces the quality of life, limits daily activities, and requires therapeutic aids. We share our experiences of treating octogenarian patients with LSS with key lesion percutaneous single portal endoscopic unilateral laminotomy and bilateral decompression (sEndo-ULBD).

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the surgical outcomes of patients aged 80 and older who underwent surgery for large vestibular schwannomas (VS).
- Thirteen patients were examined, with most experiencing good facial function post-surgery and a low rate of serious complications.
- The findings suggest that older age should not automatically prevent patients from undergoing VS surgery, and that planned partial resection is a viable option for elderly patients.
