Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Central to the gray matter is...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Disorders

Background:

  • Lumbar spondylolisthesis is a prevalent cause of back pain and disability.
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is increasingly adopted for managing this condition.
  • MISS aims to reduce surgical morbidity while maintaining or improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current minimally invasive surgical techniques for lumbar spondylolisthesis.
  • To discuss the indications, benefits, limitations, and outcomes of various MISS approaches.
  • To highlight emerging technologies and protocols in MISS for spondylolisthesis.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of current MISS options for lumbar spondylolisthesis.
  • Analysis of techniques including minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, lateral lumbar interbody fusion, anterior lumbar interbody fusion, and endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Inclusion of minimally invasive decompression techniques.

Main Results:

  • Various MISS techniques provide viable alternatives to open surgery for lumbar spondylolisthesis.
  • Each technique presents specific advantages and disadvantages regarding patient selection and outcomes.
  • Technological advancements are continuously enhancing the efficacy and safety of MISS.

Conclusions:

  • MISS is a rapidly evolving field for treating lumbar spondylolisthesis.
  • Careful patient selection and understanding of technique-specific profiles are crucial for optimal results.
  • Ongoing innovation promises further refinement and expanded application of MISS in spinal surgery.
