Summary: This study compared the incidence of acute disc herniation following mini-open and minimally invasive decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis. The results showed that the incidence of postoperative disc herniation was significantly lower in the minimally invasive group compared to the mini-open group.

Summary: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disease in the elderly population, often requiring surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), including techniques like endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), is gaining popularity as a potential replacement for traditional open surgery in the treatment of LSS associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).

Summary: Results from a study involving 198 patients with LSS indicate that there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes 5 years after minimally invasive posterior decompression between patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) and those without DS. Additionally, after carefully excluding patients with segmental instability, DS did not impact the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive decompression surgery.

Summary: This narrative review aims to clarify the efficacy, safety profile, certain procedure details, advantages, and limitations of MILD for LSS. According to the literature, MILD is an effective and safe procedure that can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve functional status in LSS patients.

Summary: The feasibility and utility of patient-specific instruments (PSI) in spinal decompression surgery were investigated in comparison with the conventional freehand technique. The study found that the surgical time with PSI was similar to the freehand technique and novice surgeons achieved a more extensive decompression using PSI.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes and differences between PMTD and MIS TLIF in the treatment of DLS-I-LSS. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the improvement of ODI, VAS low back pain score, and VAS leg pain score between the two groups. However, the PMTD group had shorter hospital stay, operation time, less blood loss, and lower hospitalization costs.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between redundant nerve roots (RNRs) and clinical outcomes after minimally invasive tubular decompression for symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The study found that preoperative RNRs are associated with increased age, symptom duration, and lumbar stenosis severity. However, patients improved after surgery regardless of RNR presence. Further research is needed to assess the long-term significance of RNRs.

Summary: The study showed that using the mild(R) procedure to treat lumbar spinal stenosis caused by hypertrophic ligamentum flavum resulted in only a small number of patients requiring open decompression surgery during the 5-year follow-up period. Patients experienced significant pain relief postoperatively, with a significant reduction in opioid medication usage.

Summary: This study reviewed 187 patients who underwent degenerative lumbar spinal surgery using minimally invasive spinal fusions techniques and found that the rate of ADTs was 11.764%. ADTs were more frequent in cases of previous surgery. The study suggests that MAST provides a certain level of protection in reducing ADTs.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of short and long fusion following surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis, finding that patients in both groups showed significant clinical improvement at one year, with similar favorable outcomes. Older patients with multilevel stenosis and more co-morbidities were associated with longer instrumentation, but complications and clinical outcomes were equally favorable compared to short instrumented fusion for fewer levels of disease.

Summary: This study presents a novel digital robotised microscope, the BHS RoboticScope (RS), for minimally invasive spinal surgery. The results showed that the easy maneuverability and high quality images provided by the RS device improve the surgeon's comfort in deep fields, making it an effective option for minimally invasive spinal procedures.

Summary: Porous polymer materials derived from poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and antibiotic containing polylactide were prepared for the first time, showing high porosity and different pore sizes. The material exhibited excellent antibacterial activity and strength characteristics, making it promising for clinical testing.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the contribution of screw design to the rate of pedicle screw loosening in patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. Factors such as screw geometry, thread type, external and internal screw diameter, bone density, number of fused levels, and facet joint resection were analyzed. The findings showed that screw design parameters significantly impacted the loosening rate, along with bone quality characteristics and the number of levels fused.

Summary: The study analyzed the safety and efficacy of OLIF in the treatment of lumbar spine disorders as presented in the literature. Results showed that OLIF is an effective, versatile, and minimally traumatic option for lumbar fusion with relatively few complications, but there are still some associated complications. Adequate correction of spinal deformities may require a combination of anterior and posterior approach surgeries.

Summary: The study showed that vertebral augmentation with bone chips significantly decreased the incidence of pedicle screw fixator destabilization in the post-operative period. Compared to PMMA, the use of bone chips resulted in a statistically significant decrease in fixator instability, making it a more effective method for patients with impaired bone density.
