Changes in Disc Height as a Prognostic Factor in Patients Undergoing Microscopic Discectomy
CONCLUSION: In patients who underwent microdiscectomy, the DH ratios at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery were prognostic factors for back pain scores at 12 months after surgery. Aggressive discectomy is recommended for lower postoperative DH ratios and VAS scores, leading to improved patient satisfaction.PMID:37799026 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2023.0110 (Source: Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society)

Narrative Review of Clinical Impact of Head-Hip Offset Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
J Korean Neurosurg Soc. 2023 Sep 27. doi: 10.3340/jkns.2023.0168. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, mechanical failure (MF) has been a significant concern for spine surgeons as well as patients. Despite earnest endeavors to prevent MF, the absence of a definitive consensus persists, owing to the intricate interplay of multifarious factors associated with this complication. Previous approaches centered around global spinal alignment have yielded limited success in entirely forestalling MF. These methodologies, albeit valuable, exhibited limitations by neglecting to encompass global balan...

Importance of Sacrotuberous Ligament in Transgluteal Approach for Sciatic Nerve Entrapment in the Greater Sciatic Notch (Piriformis Syndrome)
CONCLUSION: Sciatic nerve decompression is effective in pain relief in chronic sciatica due to sciatic nerve entrapment at the greater sciatic notch. Its effect was further enhanced by circumferential dissection of the sciatic nerve based on the compartment formed by the piriformis muscle and the sacrotuberous ligament in the greater sciatic notch.PMID:37752819 | DOI:10.3340/jkns.2023.0166 (Source: Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society)
