Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Lateral interbody fusion relies on fluoroscopy, leading to significant radiation exposure for patients and surgeons.
  • Radiation risks include increased cancer incidence and potential tissue damage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical technique for lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) utilizing computed tomography (CT) navigation.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of performing LLIF with reduced or eliminated intraoperative radiation exposure.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves using pre-operative CT scans for intraoperative navigation.
  • Image-guided technology guides retractor placement and graft positioning.
  • Surgeons utilize CT-based navigation to perform the LLIF procedure.

Main Results:

  • Successful execution of lateral lumbar interbody fusion using CT navigation.
  • Elimination of fluoroscopy-related radiation exposure for the surgical team.
  • Potential for comparable or improved accuracy in retractor docking and graft placement.

Conclusions:

  • CT navigation offers a viable alternative to fluoroscopy for lateral lumbar interbody fusion.
  • This approach enhances surgical safety by minimizing radiation exposure.
  • Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and compare efficacy with traditional methods.
