Effectiveness of Corticosteroid Therapy in Enhancing Early Postoperative Recovery in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Patients: A Retrospective Study
CONCLUSIONS Small doses of corticosteroid therapy for postoperative lumbar spinal stenosis reduced symptoms and improved quality of life scores after surgery. However, it had little long-term impact on final patient outcomes.PMID:38279530 | PMC:PMC10829405 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943233 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Relationship between the postoperative variations of paraspinal muscles and adjacent-segment degeneration in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis after posterior instrumented lumbar fusion
CONCLUSIONS: The functional area decreased in the MF and ES muscles and increased in the PM muscle after L4-S1 PLIF. A compensatory postoperative decrease in FI of the PM muscle at the adjacent level was a protective factor for ASD in DLSS patients after PLIF.PMID:38277656 | DOI:10.3171/2023.11.SPINE23750 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Factors influencing slippage after microsurgical single level lumbar spinal decompression surgery - Are the psoas and multifidus muscles involved? -
ConclusionLower preoperative psoas muscle volume in LSS patients is an important predictive factor of postoperative slippage progression at the operated level after MSD. The predictors for postoperative slippage progression are multifactorial; however, a well-structured postoperative exercise regimen involving psoas muscle strengthening may be beneficial in LSS patients after MSD.

Do patients with lumbar spinal stenosis benefit from decompression of levels with adjacent moderate stenosis? A prospective cohort study from the NORDSTEN study
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is characterized by pain that radiates to the buttocks and/or legs, aggravated by walking and relieved by forward flexion. There is poor correlation between clinical symptoms and severity of stenosis on MRI, and multi-level stenosis has not been described to present worse symptoms or treatment outcomes, compared to patients with single-level stenosis. In patients with one level with severe stenosis combined with an adjacent level with moderate stenosis, the surgeon must decide whether to decompress only the narrowest level or both, to achieve the best possible outcome.

Spinal surgery and the risk of reoperation after total hip arthroplasty: a cohort study based on Swedish spine and hip arthroplasty registers
CONCLUSION: LSSS with or without fusion before THA is associated with an increased risk of THA reoperation. Spinal fusion increased the risk of reoperation of THA when performed after THA.PMID:38240741 | PMC:PMC10798353 | DOI:10.2340/17453674.2024.35228 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica)

Influence of rapid recovery nutritional support on functional recovery and hospitalization duration in patients undergoing minimally invasive lumbar surgery
CONCLUSION: The nutrition support model, which is based on the concept of rapid recovery, has been found to have several benefits for patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing MIS-TLIF. These benefits include reducing the hospital stay, treatment cost, and the time to ambulation. Additionally, logistic regression analysis has identified several independent risk factors that can affect the length of hospital stay. These risk factors include age, history of diabetes, nursing plan, operation time, and preoperative JOA score.PMID:38186983 | PMC:PMC10767528 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)
