Association between severity of the cervical foraminal stenosis and paraspinal muscle parameters in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrated level- and side-specific correlations between the FI of the multifidus and rotatores muscles and severity of CFS. Given the segmental innervation of the multifidus and rotatores muscles, the authors hypothesize that the observed increased FI could be reflective of changes due to muscle denervation from CFS.PMID:38134419 | DOI:10.3171/2023.10.SPINE23658 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

A quantitative analysis of surgical smoke-derived particulate matter and formaldehyde exposure during spine surgery: a possible occupational hazard
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study highlight the potential surgical smoke-related hazards that spine surgeons may be exposed to in the operating room. Implementing simple interventions, such as utilizing nearby suction, can effectively minimize the amount of toxic surgical smoke and mitigate these risks.PMID:38100756 | DOI:10.3171/2023.10.SPINE23806 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Is single-level cervical disc arthroplasty associated with a lower reoperation rate than anterior cervical discectomy and fusion?
CONCLUSIONS: Single-level CDA was associated with a similar rate of reoperation and higher rate of subsequent injections when compared with a matched cohort that underwent single-level ACDF. CDA was associated with lower rates of 90-day adverse events and readmissions.PMID:38100758 | DOI:10.3171/2023.10.SPINE23640 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Sacral Tarlov perineurial cysts: a systematic review of treatment options
J Neurosurg Spine. 2023 Dec 15:1-14. doi: 10.3171/2023.9.SPINE23559. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTarlov perineurial spinal cysts (TCs) are an underrecognized cause of spinal neuropathic symptoms. TCs form within the sensory nerve root sleeves, where CSF extends distally and can accumulate pathologically. Typically, they develop at the sacral dermatomes where the nerve roots are under the highest hydrostatic pressure and lack enclosing vertebral foramina. In total, 90% of patients are women, and genetic disorders that weaken connective tissues, e.g., Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, convey considerable risk. Most small TCs are asy...
