A Comparison between Structural Allografts and Polyetheretherketone Interbody Spacers Used in Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
This study showed that for 3-level ACDFs, the use of structural allografts may confer higher fusion rates. However, VAS neck pain, NDI, and subsidence rates were comparable between structural allografts and PEEK cages. In addition, no significant difference in pseudoarthrosis rates was found between PEEK cages and structural allografts in patients undergoing 1- and 2-level ACDFs.PMID:38287665 | DOI:10.31616/asj.ASJ-2023.0128 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Clinical implications of the superficial uterine vein pattern for the dissection of the anterior layer of the vesicouterine ligament in radical hysterectomy
CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that the sUV had 2 types of courses, ventral and others, and its course affected the time required for dissection and the number of hemostatic interventions. Our results provide information supportive of improved radical hysterectomy outcomes.PMID:38282260 | DOI:10.3802/jgo.2024.35.e50 (Source: Journal of Gynecologic Oncology)

Influence of Cervical Total Disc Replacement on Motion in the Target and Adjacent Segments
The motion limitation after cervical discectomy and fusion alters the spine ´s kinematics. Unphysiological strains may be the result and possible explanation for adjacent segment degeneration. Alterations to cervical kinematics due to cervical total disc replacement (TDR), especially two-level, are still underinvestigated. (Source: The Spine Journal)

A comprehensive review of the vertebral artery anatomy
CONCLUSION: As surgical and endovascular techniques continue to evolve with technological improvements, we are now more equipped than ever to manage complex lesions involving the VA. However, with its increasingly complexity comes the necessity for a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the VA. Possessing the detailed knowledge of the VA is vital for the successful execution of any procedure involving it.PMID:38277859 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101518 (Source: Neuro-Chirurgie)

Vertebral artery stenosis from osteophyte: A systematic review and case series
CONCLUSION: Surgical decompression of the VA is a safe and effective intervention for patients experiencing symptomatic osteophytic compression during head rotation. This procedure restores normal vascular function and reduces the risk of ischemic events. This review highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention in such cases.PMID:38277863 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101525 (Source: Neuro-Chirurgie)
