The posterior decompression with transpedicular instrumentation can be an alternative treatment method of less-involved spinal tuberculosis especially for patients in early phase of bone destruction or ones with mild kyphosis.
Moderate disk degeneration, a large sROM, a small RT, and a low IHI are biomechanical risk factors of rLDH in L5-S1. The results also suggested being male and having a large annular defect increase recurrence after discectomy, especially in cases of ipsilateral rLDH.
A superciliary approach can be a reasonable alternative to a pterional approach for small (<15 mm) UIAs arising at the supraclinoid ICA, A1, ACoA, and M1 segment including the MCA bifurcation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
