Surgery Research

KEY FINDING: Postoperative CSFD improved MMT scores compared with preoperative CSFD, indicating neurological improvement in patients undergoing thoracic aortic and thoracoabdominal aortic surgery.

KEY FINDING: Anterior cervical decompression with interbody fusion is effective in improving functional outcomes, even in late-presenting incomplete quadriplegic patients.

KEY FINDING: Early subdural spinal cord stimulation encountered difficulties such as spinal cord injury, vascular compromise, infection, CSF leakage, hematoma formation, and chronic fibrosis.

KEY FINDING: Early mobilization protocols in various medical/surgical settings correlate with reduced complications like respiratory issues, DVT/PE, and infections.

KEY FINDING: Significant improvements were observed in sagittal index and compression percentage postoperatively, with these improvements largely maintained at the one-year follow-up.

KEY FINDING: Blood vessel vascularization and remodeling after SCI are critical for SCI repair and functional recovery.

KEY FINDING: Motor function was partially restored in dogs that underwent the transplantation procedure with PEG treatment, as evidenced by the re-establishment of anatomic continuity and axonal sprouting.

KEY FINDING: Patients with AFD aggravation had significantly higher preoperative back pain VAS scores and postoperative ODI scores, indicating greater pain and disability.

KEY FINDING: Omental graft improved behavior scores significantly from the 3rd to 6th week after injury in contusive SCI rats.

KEY FINDING: Changes in disc height (DH) were significantly associated with lower pedicle screw angle.
