Filter by:With the change of lifestyle and the aging of the population, the prevalence of Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in my country is increasing year by year, and surgery is one of the main ways to treat LDH. Surgical robots have good application prospects in the surgical treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative diseases. Studies have shown that orthopedic robot-assisted surgery has less soft tissue damage, small surgical incisions, less bleeding, high safety, and quick postoperative recovery; it reduces the risk of spinal cord and blood vessel damage that may be caused during manual operations; does not require repeated fluoroscopy To determine the position of the nail, reduce the intraoperative radiation by more than 70%, and reduce the risk of patient infection. The current clinical research on robotics technology mainly stays in the aspects of accuracy, effectiveness, and safety. If the technology is promoted in clinical applications, the support of health economics evaluation data is urgently needed. This study hopes to apply robot-assisted technology in LDH surgical treatment through observational research design, evaluate the therapeutic effect and treatment cost of robot-assisted surgery and conventional surgery, focus on health economics evaluation, and provide treatment options for patients and medical care in the health sector. The reasonable allocation of resources and the promotion and application of this technology provide data support.
Degenerative lumbar pathologies are characterised by functional impairment and the occurrence of severe chronic pain and disability Arthrodesis of the lumbar spine is a common surgery for the treatment of degenerative lumbar pathologies. It is commonly performed during a hospital stay that can vary from 3 to 7 days. The development of mini-invasive techniques and the development of the Improved Rehabilitation after Surgery programmes, has considerably reduced the hospital stay of the patients. It is possible that in the future mini-invasive lumbar arthrodesis will be performed on an ambulatory as a standard procedure, but its safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction must be proven and validated.
This study is designed to collect real world evidence (RWE) safety and efficacy data on patients who plan to undergo a single-level Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) or Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) instrumented with pedicle screws, using the framework of a prospective clinical study (with defined enrollment criteria and pre-specified research follow-up timepoints).
The commonly used scales (ODI+JOA-29+VAS) lack the assessment of lumbar stiffness, and there is no scale for evaluating lumbar stiffness in China.Based on the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process, this study will improve and optimize the quality of life evaluation system for patients with severe degenerative lumbar disease, so as to obtain a concise, practical, and effective patient-reported outcome instrument.
The purpose of this study is to establish a relationship between liposomal bupivacaine surgical site injection and postop opioid utilization.
Ultrasound (US)-guided peripheral nerve blocks have been used increasily due to the advantages of ultrasound in anesthesia practice. TLIP block is one of these nerve blocks performed under US guidance. In this technique, local anesthetic solution is injected between the multifidus and logissimus muscles nearly at the level of the 3rd lumbar vertebra and targets the dorsal rami of the thoracolumbar nerves. However, the visualisation of this technique may be difficult under US guidance. Therefore, modified-TLIP (mTLIP) block was defined as a new approach. It has been reported that mTLIP block may provide effective analgesia management after lumbar spine surgery. The ultrasound (US) guided erector spina plane block (ESPB) is a novel interfacial plan block defined by Forero et al. at 2016. Visualization of sonoanatomy with US is easy, and the spread of local anesthesic agents can be easily seen under the erector spinae muscle. Thus, analgesia occurs in several dermatomes with cephalad-caudad way. It has been reported that ESPB provides lumbar analgesia at T10-12, L3. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided mTLIP block and ESPB pain management after multi-level lumbar spinal instrumentation surgery.
The purpose of this single-blind, randomized, controlled study is to assess the efficacy of "informative text messages" vs "traditional handouts" provided to lumbar spine surgery patients post-operatively.
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), as a minimally invasive technique, is an indirect decompression technique, and its decompression effect is not as thorough as traditional posterior decompression surgery. For certain patients with severe lumbar stenosis, additional posterior decompression is required. However, whether additional posterior decompression is necessary for these patients is unknown. Radiographic predictors of failed indirect decompression via LLIF is unknown. In current randomized, controlled trial , the investigators compare the clinical outcomes of patients with severe lumbar stenosis who received LLIF plus posterior decompression and those without posterior decompression.
The primary objective is to determine the validity of the Six-Minute-Walking Test (6WT) and Timed-Up and Go (TUG) test to measure objective functional impairment (OFI) in patients undergoing either interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ESI) or transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI) for lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD)
The study determines the reliability and validity of the 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD).
