Filter by:In spine surgery, it is important to try to minimize bleeding. In particular, spine surgery often involves inserting hardware into bone, and/or removing bone in the spine. Because the bone in the spine contains blood vessels, there can often be bleeding from the bone itself that is difficult to stop completely. One way to stop bone bleeding is through the use of wax-like materials, which plug the bleeding bone and act as a physical barrier to stop bleeding. One example is Ostene bone hemostasis material, which has the advantage of being "water soluble", meaning it will dissolve naturally over time. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well Ostene does at decreasing bleeding, by using a recognized scale called the validated intraoperative bleeding severity scale, abbreviated as "VIBe". In this study, the investigators will record the bleeding severity throughout multiple time points in surgery using this scale, and then the investigators will compare the measurements to patients in the past who did not receive Ostene. Overall, this research will help measure how well Ostene decreases bleeding.
The study aims to assess the interfacial plane blocks' effect on pain level, course of postoperative rehabilitation, and anti-inflammatory analgesic effect.
Single-center, randomized study will enroll 50 subjects who are scheduled for 1-3 level posterior laminectomy & fusion. Study participants who are eligible for the posterior lumbar laminectomy and fusion procedure will be scheduled and also consented as a part of the study. Participants will be stratified based on age and gender to ensure equal distribution.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of ketamine on intraoperative motor evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing thoracolumbar spinal fusions. Participants will undergo a standard anesthetic. In addition to the standard anesthetic, the patients will be administered increasing doses of ketamine with motor-evoked potentials being measured at each dose, to assess any impacts.
With the extended life expectancy of the Chinese population and improvements in surgery and anesthesia techniques, the number of aged patients undergoing surgery has been increasing annually. However, safety, effectiveness, and quality of life of aged patients undergoing surgery are facing major challenges. This prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled study aims to construct a prehabilitation combined with enhanced recovery after surgery program which includes pre-operative risk assessment and targeted intervention.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two different medications used to reduce pain during lower back fusion surgery. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can liposomal bupivacaine, when included in a regional anesthesia technique called the Erector Spinae Plane block (ESPB), reduce opioid use post-operatively compared to the standard medication typically used in an ESPB (bupivacaine with stabilizing agents)? 2. Do patients report lower pain and better satisfaction with their surgery when they receive liposomal bupivacaine in the ESPB compared to those that receive the standard medication? Participants will be randomized to into two groups one that receives liposomal bupivacaine and one group that receives bupivacaine with stabilizing agents. Other than the randomization all patients will follow current standard of care at our hospital, and will not be asked to complete any additional study forms in addition to forms currently asked of all patients as per standard of care.
Accelerated Postoperative Recovery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at facilitating faster and more effective recovery for patients undergoing surgical procedures. The ERAS protocol encompasses specific measures implemented during the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. Its goal is to enable patients to achieve better outcomes by reducing postoperative pain, complications, and hospital stays. The multimodal and multidisciplinary approach to patient care during the perioperative period includes a combination of evidence-based interventions designed to reduce the stress of surgery to maintain anabolic homeostasis and promote recovery. This approach involves preparing patients for surgery through assessment and education, optimizing intraoperative management (such as minimally invasive surgery, pain control, and optimal fluid management), and expediting postoperative recovery (e.g., through early feeding and mobilization). Early mobilization is considered a crucial element of this approach and is strongly recommended as part of ERAS guidelines across various surgical disciplines. Prolonged bed rest following surgical treatment has been associated with adverse outcomes, such as thromboembolism, pneumonia, muscle weakness, and loss of physical conditioning. If a patient does not have physical limitations in the postoperative period, early ambulation benefits in the preservation of respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal system functions, as well as in reducing complications related to anesthesia and surgery. Ultimately, it accelerates recovery, enables early discharge, reduces hospital costs, and lightens the workload of healthcare professionals.
Background: Pain relief for lumbar spine surgery is being updated to help improve the quality of post-operative recovery, especially ultrasound-guided pain relief anesthesia methods, including two anesthesia methods. Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIP block) and erector spinae plane block (ESP block) are increasingly commonly applied. Objective: compare the pain relief effectiveness of TLIP block with ESP block for lumbar spine surgery. Methods: Randomized prospective intervention study conducted at Hanoi Medical University Hospital from October 2021 to October 2022 including 100 lumbar spine surgery patients randomly divided into three groups: group control, TLIP group and ESP group. Outcomes regarding perioperative pain score (ANIm, VAS), the effectiveness of 2 ultrasound-guided methods, the complications and the side effects were recorded.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of two treatment methods (conservative therapy and surgical treatment) in patients with fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine without neurological deficit
Pseudarthrosis, a failure of bony fusion, is one of the most common causes of revision surgery following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The interbody spacer is an important component of bony fusion in ACDF, and we aim to compare machined allograft spacers versus iliac crest allograft in a randomized controlled trial.
