Hoping nothing changes!!! 40 Will. HarrisonJr ⚠ I recently had a minor surgery of "shaving" a calcified herniation of the left side of the disc at L5 - S1. When the stitches were removed I began profuse leaking of fluid out of the place where the stitches were taken out. I had ...
The author reported a significantly better result in the surgically treated group at the 1-year follow-up examination; however, after 4 years the difference was no longer statistically significant. Only minor changes took place during the last 6 years of observation. The trial was not blinded ...
More importantly, the changes in internal mechanical stresses within the intervertebral disc resulting from the two procedures have not been previously quantified. The objective of this study is to verify the presumed increase in instability associated with the laminectomy and to compare the central and...
3 hours later, changes in SCBF were evaluated autoradiographically and changes in ATP, glucose and lactate levels were analyzed using substrate-specific bioluminescence techniques. Measurements were performed at the lesion site (segment L4), adjacent segments (L3 and L5) and at remote thoracic ...
Additionally, no significant changes in ROM were observed at any surgical segments under flexion across the three restorative laminoplasty models. When comparing the RL-HSM model with the RL-THM and RL-LSM models, it was observed that the largest ROM increase at all surgical segments occurred ...
