The Authors report on nine cases of thoracic disc hernia operated on through Carson's posterolateral approach. Several steps were taken to protect the spinal cord, and to remove completely disc fragments and any calcifications. The importance of the combined use of the operating microscope and the posterolateral approach are emphasized, and the longterm results are evaluated.

Conservative management of a cervical hematoma after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A case report.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hotel Dieu de France Hospital, Beirut, Lebanon. Electronic address:
Introduction And Importance: With an incidence ranging from 0.4 % to 2.4 %, post-operative hematoma after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is considered as potentially fatal since it can rapidly lead to acute airway obstruction and respiratory failure.

Department of Neurosurgery, Barrow Neurological Institute, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona. Electronic address:
Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the use of a novel approach, the "floating island" technique to surgically address calcified thoracic disc herniation (cTDH) that interdigitates with adjacent dura and to report clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients.
Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted by examining the electronic medical records of consecutive patients who underwent thoracic discectomy from August 2017 to December 2022. Of 65 patients treated for thoracic disc herniation, 37 had cTDHs.
Sagittal alignment of the spine and lumbar disc herniation in young adults: a historical, case-control study.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
March 2025
Centre orthopédique Santy, Lyon, France; Hôpital Privé Jean Mermoz, Ramsay-Générale de Santé, Lyon, France.
Objectives: This study hypothesizes that the spinopelvic sagittal alignment can influence the development of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). To investigate this relationship, the spinopelvic data of surgical LDH patients was compared to that of a healthy historical control group.
Methods: The spinopelvic data of LDH patients aged 15 to 45 years, undergoing herniated disc surgery (L4-L5/L5-S1) from 2015 to 2019, was compared to that from healthy controls reported by Roussouly et al.

Ann Vasc Surg

IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Unit, Genoa, Italy; Department of Integrated Surgical and Diagnostic Science (DISC), University of Genoa, Italy. Electronic address:
Objective: To study the effect of endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta on cardiac geometry and evaluate the effects of stent placement on hemodynamics and cardiovascular biomechanics.
Methods: Articles were selected through the use of online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, investigating the use of engineering methods (computational analysis and simulations using 3D models of cardiovascular structures obtained from medical imaging) to study the effects of pre- and post-treatment TEVAR (Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair) in terms of left ventricular mass variation and assessment of fluid dynamics parameters such as Wall Shear Stress (WSS), flow variations, and velocity. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
This study aimed to quantify the sensitivity of a thoracolumbar musculoskeletal model with a flexible thoracic spine and articulated ribcage to disc flexural stiffness variation inherent from in-vitro cadaveric data. The model was personalized to a normal weight subject, whose upper body segmental masses and centers of mass were computed using a body-shape-based approach. Joint flexural stiffness curves were defined based on in-vitro flexion-extension moment-rotation data from several specimens taken at various thoracic levels, with stiffness variation reaching 1.
