How Loud is Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery? Identifying Intraoperative Risk of Hearing Loss Open
Study Design Prospective Cohort Study. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess how sound pressure levels (SPL) change throughout spine procedures and which phases may place surgeons at higher risk of noise induced hearing loss. Meth…

Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Open
Background: Robotic-assisted (RA) minimally invasive (MI) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is an advantageous combination of 2 techniques utilized to treat lumbar degenerative pathologies. Given the lack of direct visualizatio…

Time Course of Functional Recovery Following Single-Level Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with and Without Posterior Instrumentation: A Retrospective Single-Institution Study Open
Background/Objectives: While anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a well-established treatment for degenerative lumbar spine pathology, the timing and pace of postoperative recovery remain poorly defined. Understanding these temporal…

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion and Cervical Disc Replacement for Predominant Neck Pain Open
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives Severe neck pain has traditionally been considered a relative contraindication for cervical disc replacement (CDR) due to risk of persistent neck pain from the remaining mobile segment. H…

Distinct Recovery Patterns After Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Comparing Minimally Invasive and Open Approaches Using Mixed-Effects Segmented Regression Open
Objective: While minimally invasive-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) has shown superiority in key clinical metrics over the open approach, evidence regarding patient-reported outcomes remains limited. This study compared p…
