Acute complications in open/miss primary and revision thoracolumbar spine surgery: a descriptive study of the most common complications and treatment of choice. INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDICS 2024; 48:555-561. [PMID: 38019296 DOI: 10.1007/s00264-023-06047-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Main question The aim of this study is to describe and analyze the frequency of acute perioperative (intraoperatively and 30 days after) complications of open/MISS thoracolumbar spine surgery. Secondary questions A) Describe the treatment of choice for every kind of complication mentioned. B) Perform a bibliographic search and compare the complications described and their frequency with those studied in the manuscript. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 816 patients undergoing spinal surgery over a two year period was analyzed. Acute complications of 59 patients are described whether those with a greater number of levels required longer periods of hospitalization. RESULTS The frequency of acute complications was 7.2%. The most common was infection (2.7%), followed by dural tear (1.7%), and screw malpositioning (1%), which is consistent with the current literature. No statistically significant results were observed when comparing the mean length of hospital stay among patients operated on a greater number of levels compared to the rest (P: 0.344; 95% CI: -3.88-10.93). CONCLUSIONS The subsidiary patient of spinal surgery is getting older and has more comorbidities, and therefore, has a higher risk of complications. Although there are models predicting the risk of complications, they are not used in routine clinical practice. It would be necessary to unify the main criteria and establish guidelines for risk detection and therapeutic algorithms based on new high-quality studies.

Abstract
Introduction The purpose is to report on the fourth set of recommendations developed by SPINE20 to advocate for evidence-based spine care globally under the theme of "One Earth, One Family, One Future WITHOUT Spine DISABILITY". Research question Not applicable. Material and methods Recommendations were developed and refined through two modified Delphi processes with international, multi-professional panels. Results Seven recommendations were delivered to the G20 countries calling them to:-establish, prioritize and implement accessible National Spine Care Programs to improve spine care and health outcomes.-eliminate structural barriers to accessing timely rehabilitation for spinal disorders to reduce poverty.-implement cost-effective, evidence-based practice for digital transformation in spine care, to deliver self-management and prevention, evaluate practice and measure outcomes.-monitor and reduce safety lapses in primary care including missed diagnoses of serious spine pathologies and risk factors for spinal disability and chronicity.-develop, implement and evaluate standardization processes for spine care delivery systems tailored to individual and population health needs.-ensure accessible and affordable quality care to persons with spine disorders, injuries and related disabilities throughout the lifespan.-promote and facilitate healthy lifestyle choices (including physical activity, nutrition, smoking cessation) to improve spine wellness and health. Discussion and conclusion SPINE20 proposes that focusing on the recommendations would facilitate equitable access to health systems, affordable spine care delivered by a competent healthcare workforce, and education of persons with spine disorders, which will contribute to reducing spine disability, associated poverty, and increase productivity of the G20 nations.

Development and validation of a novel thoracic spinal stenosis surgical invasiveness index: a single-center study based on 989 patients. Spine J 2023; 23:1296-1305. [PMID: 37100245 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2023.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Surgical invasiveness indices have been established for general spine surgery (surgical invasiveness index [SII]), spine deformity, and metastatic spine tumors; however, a specific index for thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS) has not been developed. PURPOSE To develop and validate a novel invasiveness index, incorporating TSS-specific factors for open posterior TSS surgery, which may facilitate the prediction of operative duration and intraoperative blood loss, and the stratification of surgical risk. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study. PATIENT SAMPLE Overall, 989 patients who underwent open posterior TSS surgeries at our institution during the past 5 years were included. OUTCOME MEASURES The operation duration, estimated blood loss, transfusion status, major surgical complications, length of hospital stay, and medical expenses. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 989 consecutive patients who underwent posterior surgery for TSS between March 2017 and February 2022. Among them, 70% (n=692) were randomly placed in a training cohort, and the remaining 30% (n=297) automatically constituted the validation cohort. Multivariate linear regression models of operative time and log-transformed estimated blood loss were created using TSS-specific factors. Beta coefficients derived from these models were used to construct a TSS invasiveness index (TII). The ability of the TII to predict surgical invasiveness was compared with that of the SII and assessed in a validation cohort. RESULTS The TII was more strongly correlated with operative time and estimated blood loss (p<.05) and explained more variability in operative time and estimated blood loss than the SII (p<.05). The TII explained 64.2% of operative time and 34.6% of estimated blood loss variation, whereas the SII explained 38.7% and 22.5%, respectively. In further verification, the TII was more strongly associated with transfusion rate, drainage time, and length of hospital stay than SII (p<.05). CONCLUSIONS By incorporating TSS-specific components, the newly developed TII more accurately predicts the invasiveness of open posterior TSS surgery than the previous index.

Performance of hybrid artificial intelligence in determining candidacy for lumbar stenosis surgery. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2022; 31:2149-2155. [PMID: 35802195 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-022-07307-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a condition affecting several hundreds of thousands of adults in the United States each year and is associated with significant economic burden. The current decision-making practice to determine surgical candidacy for LSS is often subjective and clinician specific. In this study, we hypothesize that the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) methods could prove comparable in terms of prediction accuracy to that of a panel of spine experts. METHODS We propose a novel hybrid AI model which computes the probability of spinal surgical recommendations for LSS, based on patient demographic factors, clinical symptom manifestations, and MRI findings. The hybrid model combines a random forest model trained from medical vignette data reviewed by surgeons, with an expert Bayesian network model built from peer-reviewed literature and the expert opinions of a multidisciplinary team in spinal surgery, rehabilitation medicine, interventional and diagnostic radiology. Sets of 400 and 100 medical vignettes reviewed by surgeons were used for training and testing. RESULTS The model demonstrated high predictive accuracy, with a root mean square error (RMSE) between model predictions and ground truth of 0.0964, while the average RMSE between individual doctor's recommendations and ground truth was 0.1940. For dichotomous classification, the AUROC and Cohen's kappa were 0.9266 and 0.6298, while the corresponding average metrics based on individual doctor's recommendations were 0.8412 and 0.5659, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that AI can be used to automate the evaluation of surgical candidacy for LSS with performance comparable to a multidisciplinary panel of physicians.

J Anat 2022; 240:268-278.

Abstract
The structure of spinal motion segments and spinal vasculature is complicated. Visualizing the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the spine may provide guidance for spine surgery. However, conventional imaging techniques fail to simultaneously obtain 3D images of soft and hard tissues, and achieving such coimaging states of the spine and its vascular networks remains a challenge. Synchrotron radiation micro-CT (SRμCT) provides a relatively effective and novel method of acquiring detailed 3D information. In this study, specimens of the thoracic spine were obtained from six mice. SRμCT was employed to acquire 3D images of the structure, and histologic staining was performed for comparisons with the SRμCT images. The whole spinal motion segments and the spinal vascular network were simultaneously explored at high resolution. The mean thickness of the cartilaginous end plates (CEPs) and the volume of the intervertebral discs (IVDs) were calculated. The surface of the CEPs and the facet joint cartilage (FJC) were presented as heat maps, which allowed for direct visualization of the thickness distribution. Regional division revealed heterogeneity among the ventral, central, and dorsal parts of the CEPs and between the superior and inferior parts of the facet processes. Moreover, the connections and spatial morphology of the spinal vascular network were visualized. Our study indicates that SRμCT imaging is an ideal method for high-resolution visualization and 3D morphometric analysis of the whole spinal motion segments and spinal vascular network.
