Journal ArticleDOI

Minimally Invasive Versus Open Laminectomy for Lumbar Stenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Kevin Phan, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The pooled evidence suggests ULBD may be associated with less blood loss and shorter stay, with similar complication profiles to the open approach, and warrant verification in large prospective registries and randomized trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frailty Index as a Predictor of Adverse Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Cervical Spinal Fusion

John I. Shin, +6 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The modified frailty index was shown to be an independent predictor of Clavien-Dindo grade IV complications in patients undergoing ACDF or PCF and could be used as a platform upon which more efficient risk stratification could be done with addition of other variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

PEEK-Halo effect in interbody fusion.

Kevin Phan, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The PEEK-Halo effect is seen secondary to minimal osseointegration of PEEK at the adjacent vertebral endplate following a PEEK implant insertion, and may support the role of titanium in improving the bone-implant interface of Pek substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship Between ASA Scores and 30-Day Readmissions in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion

Kevin Phan, +4 more
- 15 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: The ASA score may be a valuable tool for the preoperative assessment of ACDF patients for risk of unplanned readmissions, and there was a significant and independent association between a high ASA class (class 4), cardiac comorbidities and prior strokes with 30-day un planned readmissions after ACDF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stand-alone anterior lumbar interbody fusion for treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Prashanth J. Rao, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Encouraging short term results for stand-alone ALIF as a procedure for low grade lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis are provided and future studies should include adequately powered, prospective, multicentre registry studies with long term follow-up to allow a better assessment of the relative benefits and risks.
