Iain H. Kalfas,Donald W. Kormos,Michael A. Murphy,Rick L. McKenzie,Gene H. Barnett,Gordon R. Bell,Charles P. Steiner,Mary Beth Trimble,Joseph Weisenberger +8 more
TL;DR: The authors conclude that frameless stereotactic technology can be successfully applied to spinal surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lumbar herniated disk disease and canal stenosis: prospective evaluation by surface coil MR, CT, and myelography
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that a technically adequate MR examination was equivalent to CT and myelography in the diagnosis of lumbar canal stenosis and herniated disk disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of spinal and general anesthesia in lumbar laminectomy surgery: a case-controlled analysis of 400 patients.
Robert F. McLain,Iain H. Kalfas,Gordon R. Bell,John E. Tetzlaff,Helen J. Yoon,Maunak V. Rana +5 more
TL;DR: Spinal anesthesia was as safe and effective as general anethesia for patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy and potential advantages of spinal anesthsia include a shorter anesthesia duration, decreased nausea, antiemetic and analgesic requirements, and fewer complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal anesthesia for elective lumbar spine surgery
TL;DR: Spinal anesthesia is an effective alternative to general anesthesia for lumbar spine surgery and has a reduced rate of minor complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications associated with lumbar laminectomy: a comparison of spinal versus general anesthesia.
TL;DR: For patients undergoing decompressive lumbar surgery, spinal anesthesia is at least comparable to general anesthetic with respect to complications, and specific advantages to spinal anesthesia include decreased nausea and antiemetic requirements, reduced analgesic requirements, and reduced overall complication rate.
