Literature

Personal Experience• Lumbar Laminectomy• Lumbar Discectomy• Lumbar Interspinous Process Spacers
– XSTOP– DIAM
• Kyphoplasty• Future considerations
– Single level lumbar fusion– Single level cervical fusion– Single level cervical disc replacement– Posterior cervical foraminotomy

Advantages• ASCs usually more efficient• ASCs more cost-effective• Convenient for patient/family• Convenient for MD• Financial Advantages for MD
– Share Holder/Owner• Facility payments• Professional Services
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Risks/Disadvantages• Surgical complications
– Epidural hematoma• Medical complications
– MI, stroke, etc• Insurance reimbursement
– No codes– Limits patient pool
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery• “Tubes” used to dilate through muscle• Special retractors• Good fluoroscopy • Less blood loss• Less pain meds
– No PCAs• No drains• Less inpatient needs
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Which Procedures?• Minimally invasive nerve decompression
– Discectomy– Laminectomy– XSTOP
• Minimally invasive spinal fusion– Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion
(TLIF)– Transpsoas Lateral Interbody Fusion (X/DLIF)
• Cervical disc Replacement• Kyphoplasty

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Spinal Stenosis
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Spinal Stenosis• Traditional technique
– “Maximally invasive”– Open laminectomy
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Spinal Stenosis• Minimally Invasive Surgery
– Tubular retractors– Unilateral approach– Unilateral or bilateral direct
decompression
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Spinal Stenosis• Interspinous Decompression (XSTOP)
– Indirect decompression– Performed under conscious
sedation– Excellent alternative for those
patients who may not undergo general anesthesia
– Implant costs

Spinal StenosisMinimally Invasive Surgery
Less blood loss and shorter operative time

Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion
Less blood loss and post-operative pain compared to traditional fusion methods

• Minimally Invasive• Retroperitoneal• Anterior decompression
and fusion

Neuromonitoring
California Orthopaedic Association, May 22, 2011
• Upward trend in outpatient spine surgery• Minimally invasive procedures • Complications infrequent • Need better pain control for lumbar fusion
cases• Insurance modification/reform
