    Asymptomatic cervical haemangioma treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty (1996)
    Springer
    Neuroradiology 38 (1996), S. 392-394 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1920
    Keywords: Key words Vertebral haemangioma ; Interventional radiology ; Vertebroplasty

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract We report a 17-year-old asymptomatic patient with a partially collapsed seventh cervical vertebra due to a haemangioma revealed by conventional radiographs performed for army enrolment. Given radiological evidence of aggressiveness, percutaneous vertebroplasty by injection of methyl methacrylate cement was performed to prevent complications. CT a year later showed no progression of the lesion. The patient remains asymptomatic.

    Complications following anterior approaches to the cervical spine (2000)
    Springer
    European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology 10 (2000), S. 177-181 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1068
    Keywords: Cervical spine ; Anterior approach ; Complications ; Dysphagia ; hoarseness
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The authors present a retrospective study of 535 consecutive anterior approaches to the cervical spine back to 5 years. The data were analyzed for post-operative complications. This surgical procedure has been commonly used for more than 40 years, but the post-operative complications due to the anterior approach itself were presented with few accompanying statistics, with various and contradictory results. Injury to nearly all of the structures has been reported in the literature, the more frequent problems are hoarseness and dysphagia; other complications include perforation of the oesophagus, hematomas, vascular injury⋯ Analysis of this data allows to understand better the specific problems related to this surgical approach, and to suggest precautions at each stage of the course of exposure of cervical vertebrae.

    A novel paraspinal surgical approach for lumbar lateral extraforaminal root entrapment (1997)
    Springer
    European spine journal 6 (1997), S. 102-105 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0932
    Keywords: Crest approach ; Paraspinal approach ; Lateral disc herniation ; Lumbar spine ; Discectomy

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract We describe a new surgical route that we call the “crest approach” for treating extraforaminal disc herniation in the lumbar spine. This approach is useful only for the levels above L5-S1. It permits perfect root decompression without any bony resection that would contribute to instability. Muscle retraction and devascularization are reduced. Risk of nerve root lesions is minimal since the herniation is removed before root mobilization. Fifteen patients have been treated using this procedure. In all 15, pain and/or neurologic deficits remitted rapidly with no postoperative complications. In conclusion, the crest approach provides highly satisfactory operating conditions by simplifying exposure and greatly limiting the risk of complications. In our relatively limited experience using this procedure, only satisfactory results have been observed.

    Complications of vertebral metastasis surgery (1998)
    Springer
    European spine journal 7 (1998), S. 438-444

    Notes: Abstract The authors report their experience concerning complications of spinal metastasis surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency of such complications and analyse the factors influencing their occurrence. The records of 145 patients treated between 1982 and 1991 for metastatic disease of the spine were retrospectively reviewed for intra- and postoperative complications. Other factors such as radiation therapy, emergent nature of surgery, and neurologic deficits were analysed for potential correlations with the frequency of complications. Twenty-seven (18.6%) patients developed postoperative complications. Wound dehiscence and infection (11%) were the most frequent complications. Statistical analysis showed a significant influence of three factors: preoperative radiation therapy, paraplegia before surgery, and surgery under emergency conditions. The rate of complications in this surgery is lower than might be expected and can be significantly reduced. Surgery should be performed before radiation therapy and before appearance of substantial neurologic deficits.

    Anterior discectomy without interbody fusion for cervical disc herniation (1995)
    Springer
    European spine journal 4 (1995), S. 45-51 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0932
    Keywords: Cervical disc herniation ; Anterior cervical disc excision without fusion

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Between 1985 and 1990, 68 patients with cervical radiculopathy due to soft disc herniation were treated by anterior cervical discectomy without interbody fusion. Eleven patients were unavailable for follow-up examination. The mean follow-up was 23 months (range 12–54 months). Both clinical and radiographic follow-ups were done, and 92% of the patients was found to have excellent or good clinical results. Radiographic follow-up revealed that 34% had fused spontaneously and 66% developed fibrous healing of the disc space with an average range of mobility of 2.07 deg. All patients were shown to be stable on flexion-extension films. Complications included two transient CSF leaks. No neurologic deficits arose. One patient was reoperated and fused for intractable residual neck pain. We conclude that anterior cervical discectomy without interbody fusion is a simple, safe and effective procedure for patients with soft disc herniation.

    Anterior evacuation of a spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma (1995)
    Springer

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The case of a spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma treated by anterior corporectomy and arthrodesis is reported. An anterior approach is preferable when an epidural hematoma is anterior to the dural sac and when MRI shows an aspect of old clotted blood that can not be easily evacuated by a posterior laminectomy.
