Summary
Minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery using new dual expandable cages shows promise for lumbar degenerative scoliosis (LDS). This technique effectively restored disc height, improved patient outcomes, and reduced complications in a case series.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurosurgery
- Spinal Surgery
Background:
- Lumbar degenerative scoliosis (LDS) is a progressive spinal deformity impacting adult quality of life.
- Traditional surgical approaches for LDS can involve significant morbidity.
- Minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery offers potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma.
