Abstract:

There is no agreement about whether patients with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome should undergo staged or simultaneous open decompression. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the functional difficulties during the recovery from surgery for patients undergoing staged or simultaneous decompressions. Sixty-three patients had surgery; 33 had staged decompression (Group 1) and 30 simultaneous decompressions (Group 2). Functional difficulties were recorded using the Levine and Quick-DASH scores along with a visual analogue score for pain. There were no complications in either gro

Abstract:

We retrospectively compared two similar groups of patients who underwent either endoscopic decompression of the carpal tunnel (single portal technique, 44 patients) or open decompression (58 patients) during 1 year in our department. To find out whether there was any subjective difference between the results of the two techniques, we sent each patient a questionnaire and received a 95% response. No major complications occurred. Three endoscopic decompressions had to be abandoned, and open release was performed. We could not demonstrate any significant difference in relief of symptoms and retur

Abstract:

Abstract CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME is the most common entrapment neuropathy, and it is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The authors describe the mini-open carpal tunnel technique for surgical release of the transverse carpal ligament. The success of the procedure depends on meticulous technique with attention to certain important anatomic details and careful avoidance of injury to the palmar cutaneous nerve and the recurrent motor branch.

Abstract:

Object Historically, adult degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) has been treated with multilevel decompression and instrumented fusion to reduce neural compression and stabilize the spinal column. However, due to the profound morbidity associated with complex multilevel surgery, particularly in elderly patients and those with multiple medical comorbidities, minimally invasive surgical approaches have been proposed. The goal of this meta-analysis was to review the differences in patient selection for minimally invasive surgical versus open surgical procedures for adult DLS, and to compare the po

Abstract:

Two hundred and seventy-three patients with carpal tunnel syndrome without advanced neurophysiological changes (distal motor latency below 11 ms) were randomized to treatment by open carpal tunnel release with, or without, epineurotomy. Patients were examined clinically and by nerve conduction studies preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. We found no statistically significant difference between simple decompression and decompression combined with epineurotomy with regard to either the clinical or the neurophysiological outcome.

Background: Subspine impingement (SSI) has been commonly managed with arthroscopic decompression. However, arthroscopic decompression is a demanding technique, as under- or over-resection of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) could lead to inferior outcomes. An anterior mini-open approach has also been used in the management of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and it could provide adequate visualization of the anterior hip joint without a long learning curve.

Carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the common neurological condition where median nerve is compressed by transverse carpel ligament at wrist. About 5% of general population suffer from this problem and most commonly occurred in young and middle-aged women. 30% of patients suffering from CTS can be managed by medications and physiotherapy and 70% may require surgical decompression at some stage. Surgical treatment is to decompress median nerve by releasing transverse carpel ligament either by open or endoscopic procedure. Both procedures have shown similar results. This is a retrospective s

Abstract:

Introduction Degenerative spine conditions involve the gradual loss of normal structure of the spine among the population and remain a common form of work-limiting health condition in 80 % of the population. The demand for surgical interventions will remain high in an aging population to improve quality of life. Lumbar spinal decompression and stabilization are produced using ventral, posterior and lateral approaches. Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) is used for treatment of degenerative lumbar stenosis having advantages over surgical interventions from other approaches.The objective was

Abstract:

Introduction/Aim: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CST) is the most common cause of upper extremity compressive neuropathy. Until the introduction of endoscopy, the dominant surgical method was classic open surgery. The objective of the paper is to examine the efficacy, safety and economic value of the mini-open carpal tunnel release technique using a longitudinal 2 cm long incision in the carpal region. Methods: The diagnosis was made based on clinical examination, followed by an ENMG. The study includes only patients with idiopathic CTS, while those who have developed CTS as a result of secondary cau

Abstract:

We investigated if single-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel decompression equipment (Agee®, 3M, USA) would cause increased carpal tunnel pressure during the release and if endoscopic release would reduce postoperative touch allodynia. Measurements on cadavers of the pressure produced during endoscopic release showed similar pressures to those produced during maximal range of motion. One hundred patients underwent either open or endoscopic decompressions. Twenty normal individuals served as controls. At 1 month after surgery both groups had significant allodynia compared with the controls, but at

Abstract:

Background: Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy affecting the upper extremity. The aim of this study was to determine the preferred surgical treatment for cubital tunnel syndrome by members of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH). Methods: We invited members of the ASSH research mailing list to complete our online survey. They were presented with 6 hypothetical cases and asked to choose their preferred treatment from the following options: open in situ decompression, endoscopic decompression, submuscular transposition, subcutaneous transposit

Abstract:

OBJECT Decompression without fusion for degenerative lumbar stenosis is an effective treatment for both the pain and disability of neurogenic claudication. Iatrogenic instability following decompression may require further intervention to stabilize the spine. The authors review the incidence of postsurgical instability following lumbar decompression, and assess the impact of surgical technique as well as study design on the incidence of instability. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify surgical cohorts of patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis, with and witho

Materials and Methods: The study cohort included patients with a minimum 5-year postoperative follow-up after undergoing either MIS decompression or laminectomy with fusion for spinal claudication. The primary outcome of interest was chronic back and leg pain intensity. Secondary outcome measures included pain frequency during the day, chronic use of non-opioid analgesics, narcotic medic

Abstract:

Background/Objectives: Biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) is one of the minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. BESS has several advantages, such as better visualization, less muscle injury, early rehabilitation, etc. Due to its clear visualization, delicate intraoperative hemostasis of the bleeding foci, including cancellous bone and small epidural vessels, can be achieved. Therefore, some authors have reported that BESS resulted in less intraoperative visible blood loss (VBL) compared to conventional open surgery. However, it is difficult to analyze the exact amount of intraoperat

Abstract BACKGROUND: Decompression without fusion is a treatment option in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) associated with stable low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). A minimally invasive unilateral laminotomy (MIL) for “over the top” decompression might be a less destabilizing alternative to traditional open laminectomy (OL). OBJECTIVE: To review secondary fusion rates after open vs minimally invasive decompression surgery. METHODS: We performed a literature search in Pubmed/MEDLINE using the keywords “lumbar spondylolisthesis” and “decompression surgery.” All studies tha
