Area of Science:

  • Spine surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Revision spinal surgery rates range from 8-45% after primary fusion.
  • Common reasons for revision include stenosis, non-union, implant failure, infection, and adjacent segment degeneration.
  • Increasing lumbar fusion rates are expected to drive an increase in revision surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline an algorithm for selecting minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques in revision lumbar spinal surgery.
  • To guide surgeons in choosing appropriate MIS approaches for complex revision cases.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm considers the nature of previous surgery and spinopelvic parameters.
  • It guides selection between MIS decompression and open osteotomies.

  • Case examples managed with MIS techniques using the algorithm are presented.

    • Main Results:

    • The algorithm facilitates the selection of MIS techniques for revision lumbar spinal surgery.
    • Successful management of revision cases using the proposed algorithm is demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed algorithm offers a systematic approach for MIS technique selection in revision lumbar spinal surgery.
    • Selection is based on specific pathology and sagittal alignment.
    • This systematic approach aids in achieving satisfactory outcomes for revision spinal surgery.
