TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MIS resulted in comparable outcome to open surgery for patients with spinal metastasis but has the advantage of less blood loss, blood transfusions, and shorter hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative Outcome in Posterior Spinal Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Prospective Study Comparing Single Versus Two Attending Surgeons Strategy.
TL;DR: The involvement of two attending surgeons significantly reduced operative time, blood loss, need for allogenic blood transfusion, patient-controlled analgesia morphine requirement and led to faster patient recovery during the perioperative period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A radiological evaluation of the morphometry and safety of S1, S2 and S2-ilium screws in the Asian population using three dimensional computed tomography scan: an analysis of 180 pelvis
TL;DR: The application of S1, S2 and S2-ilium screws are feasible and the amount of medial angulation and the ideal screw length in the Asian population must be borne in mind during insertion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Intraoperative Blood Loss at Different Surgical Stages During Posterior Spinal Fusion Surgery in the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
TL;DR: The amount of blood loss at different stages of Posterior Instrumented Spinal Fusion surgery in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients may enable the surgical team to formulate a management strategy to reduce intraoperative blood loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does a dual attending surgeon strategy confer additional benefit for posterior selective thoracic fusion in Lenke 1 and 2 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)? A prospective propensity matching score analysis
TL;DR: A dual attending surgeon strategy was superior to a single surgeon strategy in posterior selective thoracic fusion in Lenke 1 and 2 AIS patients and will lead to a faster operation, reduced intraoperative blood loss, reduced risk of allogenic transfusion, reduced morphine requirement, and shorter hospital stay.
