Randomized controlled trial. The aim of this study was to compare the dosemetrically determined radiation exposure of surgeon and patient during minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) using conventional 2D fluoroscopy (FLUORO) or 3D fluoroscopy-based navigation (NAV). MIS TLIF was shown to exhibit higher radiation expo...

Retrospective case series. The aim of this study was to compare the utility and cost-effectiveness of multilevel lateral interbody fusion (LIF) combined with posterior spinal fusion (PSF) (L group) and conventional PSF (with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion) (P group) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. The clinical and radiographic outc...

Retrospective review. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety,s and complications of computer tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous transpedicular gold fiducial marker insertion to reduce incidence of wrong-level surgery in the thoracic spine. Intraoperative localization of the correct thoracic level can be challengi...

Case report. The aim of this study was to present how computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) detect spinal cord ischemia during anterior spine surgery. These data directed expedient surgical and anesthetic interventions that restored IONM signals and prevented neurologic sequalæ. Anterior verteb...
