Failed less invasive lumbar spine surgery as a predictor of subsequent fusion outcomes

Abstract: Purpose It is not uncommon for patients to undergo less invasive spine surgery (LISS) prior to succumbing to lumbar fusion; however, the effect of failed LISS on subsequent fusion outcomes is relatively unknown. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients who suffered failed LISS would afford inferior subsequent fusion outcomes when compared to patients who did not have prior LISS. Methods After IRB approval, registry from a spine surgeon was queried for consecutive patients who underwent fu… Show more

“…Chiropractic care, physical therapy, activity modifications and medications have shown efficacy in the treatment of acute low back pain [14][15][16]. There is, however, limited evidence to show their efficacy to treat chronic discogenic low back pain [17][18][19][20][21]. Phillips et al published an excellent systematic review on the treatment of chronic discogenic low back pain [7].…”

“…Therefore, adequate lumbar foraminal plasty needs to be emphasize. Reasons for failed endoscopic surgery in CES include incomplete decompression, recurrent herniations, haematoma and cerebrospinal uid leakage [20,21]. Recently, several authors have emphasized the signi cance of foraminoplasty [22,23].…”

“…TLIF was found to be the most frequently studied technique for lumbar spinal fusion operations regardless if MIS or OS was used. Twenty-seven studies described the position of the fusion or the number of levels that were fused for the study patients; out of which, nine studies [ 25 27 , 31 , 32 , 37 , 47 , 56 , 57 ] included patients who had two or more levels fused (range from 14% - 57% of total studied patients), but the results were not presented separately by fusion levels. Therefore, the current SLR mainly provides evidence of the time to return to work and the post-operation narcotic use for patients after a single-level lumbar spinal fusion.…”
