“…The potential complications of ALIF are those related to anterior approach to the lumbar spine, as abdominal viscera lesions, great vessels, thromboembolic events, ureter injury and retrograde ejaculation in men (27)(28)(29)(30). The male patient must be aware of this complication, to take the necessary precautions in case he still has the desire to have children.…”

With the proliferation of a variety of modern MIS spine surgery procedures, it is mandatory that the surgeon dominate all aspects involved in surgical indication. The information related to the decision making in patient selection for specific procedures is mandatory for surgical success. The objective of this study is to present decision-making criteria in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) selection for a variety of patients and pathologies. In this article, practicing surgeons who specialize in various MIS approaches for spinal fusion were engaged to provide expert opinion and literature review on decision making criteria for several MIS procedures. Pros, cons, relative limitations, and case examples are provided for patient selection in treatment with MIS posterolateral fusion (MIS-PLF), mini anterior lumbar interbody fusion (mini-ALIF), lateral interbody fusion (LLIF), MIS posterior lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-PLIF) and MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF). There is a variety of aspects to consider when deciding which modern MIS surgical approach is most appropriate to use based on patient and pathologic characteristics. The surgeon must adapt them to the characteristic of each type of patients, helping them to choose the most effective and efficient therapeutic option for each case.

This article gives a review of the possible revision strategies after repeated operative treatment of degenerative spinal diseases using stand-alone cages. Own clinical experiences and reports from the literature were taken into consideration. Dorsal stabilization is the main consideration for all access routes even if it can be discussed, albeit controversially, whether ventral removal of an installed cage is justified, because this contains a significantly higher perioperative risk. The increased risk of neurological complications by dorsal revision and for vascular complications by ventral access, especially at the L4/5 level must be particularly considered. Clinical data and own experience have shown that in the majority of cases an additional dorsal stabilization should be favored for revision surgery. Currently large clinical studies which deal with the revision problematic of stand-alone cages with respect to the access route are still lacking.

Retroperitoneal haematoma in a postoperative ALIF patient taking rivaroxaban for atrial fibrillation

2016

This is the first case of a rivaroxaban-induced retroperitoneal haematoma reported in the literature, secondary to elective spinal surgery. This report adds to the body of evidence on the risk of postoperative bleeding in patients taking NOACs. If patients on NOACs present with abdominal symptoms following anterior approach to the lumbar spine, treating clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for retroperitoneal haematoma.
