Article Synopsis
  • Surgical treatment for thoracic disc herniation (TDH) is complicated due to the risk of damage to the spinal cord and the presence of calcification in many cases, which can make surgery even more challenging.
  • An original surgical technique was successfully applied in 44 patients, involving transverso-pediculectomy and 360° release of the spinal cord, resulting in a high rate of total resection and minimal complications.
  • Postoperative follow-up showed significant improvement in neurological conditions for most patients, with only a 4.5% risk of worsening symptoms, highlighting the effectiveness of the bilateral postero-lateral approach for accessing and removing calcified TDH.

Lateral-PLIF for spinal arthrodesis: concept, technique, results, complications, and outcomes.

Acta Neurochir (Wien)

March 2024

Department of Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery, Pierre Wertheimer Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, 59 Boulevard Pinel, 696777, Lyon-Bron, France.

Article Synopsis
  • Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a surgical option for lumbar spine degeneration, and a new variant called Lateral-PLIF was evaluated in a series of patients.
  • The study included 104 adult patients who underwent Lateral-PLIF, demonstrating high fusion rates and significant improvements in pain and functional outcomes over two years.
  • Complications were minimal, with no neurological deterioration reported, suggesting Lateral-PLIF is a safe and effective technique worth further study for treating lumbar issues.

Three-Dimensional Volumetric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis of Syringomyelia Evolution After Posterior Fossa Decompression for Chiari Malformation Type1.

World Neurosurg

October 2023

Department of Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery, Hôpital Pierre Wertheimer, Hospices Civils de Lyon, and Claude Bernard University of Lyon 1, Lyon, France; Laboratory of Biomechanics, École nationale supérieure d'Arts et Métiers, Arts et Metiers ParisTech, Paris, France.

Objective: This study aims to introduce a method of three-dimensional (3D) volume magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements to evaluate the evolution of syringomyelia (SM) in adults with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM-1) after posterior fossa decompression (PFD), to provide reproducible and accurate measurements.

Methods: Radiologic and clinical data were obtained for 28 patients. MRI 3D syrinx volumes were evaluated by 2 observers using Philips Healthcare Tumor Tracking tool.

Pure lumbar foraminal cavernous malformation in a patient with Cowden syndrome-a case report.

J Spine Surg

September 2022

Department of Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery, Pierre Wertheimer Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, and Claude Bernard University of Lyon 1, Lyon-Bron, France.

Background: Spinal cavernous malformations (CMs) are slow flow venous vascular malformations which can occur in vertebral body, epidural space or intramedullary. Only 7 cases were described confined in foraminal space. Cowden syndrome (CS) is an autosomal dominant genodermatosis that may present and develop vascular malformations, which include CM.

Coexistence of flavum ligament ossification with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis in the cervical spine: Review of literature and technical note starting from a rare case.

Neurochirurgie

December 2022

Department of Spine and Spinal Cord Surgery, Hôpital Pierre Wertheimer, Hospices Civils de Lyon, and Claude Bernard University of Lyon 1, 59 boulevard Pinel, 69677 Lyon-Bron, France; Laboratory of Biomechanics, ENSAM, Arts et Metiers Paris Tech, 153, boulevard de l'Hôpital, 75013 Paris, France.

Background: Cervical flavum ligament ossification (C-OLF) is very rare source of myeloradiculopathy. Less than 100 cases have been reported in modern English literature up to 2020. Association between C-OLF and Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) at cervical level has never been described.

C1-C2 Injury: Factors influencing mortality, outcome, and fracture healing.

Eur Spine J

June 2021

Department of Spine Surgery, Hopitaux Universitaires de Strasbourg, 1 place de l'Hopital, BP 426, 67091, Strasbourg, France.

Background: C1-C2 injury represents 25-40% of cervical injuries and predominantly occurs in the geriatric population.

Methods: A prospective multicentre study was conducted under the aegis of the french spine surgery society (SFCR) investigating the impact of age, comorbidities, lesion type, and treatment option on mortality, complications, and fusion rates.

Results: A total of 417 patients were recruited from 11 participating centres.
