Surgery Research

KEY FINDING: Both anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and posterior cervical laminectomy significantly improved ASIA classification, motor scores, and sensory scores in ACCS patients.

KEY FINDING: Both immediate and sub-acute decompression groups showed significantly higher BBB and FLS scores than the non-decompression group.

KEY FINDING: Cervical cord reperfusion injury is a rare cause of neurological decline after spinal cord decompression surgeries.

KEY FINDING: Single-door laminoplasty combined with atlantoaxial fusion significantly increased the inner sagittal diameter of C1 and the space available for the spinal cord.

KEY FINDING: Steroid use for acute SCIs is more common in LMICs compared to high-income countries (HICs), despite concerns about their effectiveness and potential complications.

KEY FINDING: Spinal stability, cord compression, and neurological impairment are the most important factors influencing surgeons' decisions regarding the surgical management of cervical SCI.

KEY FINDING: Injury to the diaphragm is the primary cause of hemothorax caused by costal osteochondroma.

KEY FINDING: The group treated with ginsenoside Rd showed significantly lower motor deficit index scores than the control group throughout the entire experimental period, indicating improved neurological function.

KEY FINDING: Descending thoracic aortic repair for chronic aortic dissection resulted in good early and long-term results.

KEY FINDING: Paraplegia occurred in 4.7% of patients, and the hospital death rate was 5.9%.
