Pathological diagram of LDH cases with contralateral symptoms. (A) A 3D pathological diagram showing that disc herniation does not directly compress the ipsilateral nerve root but tracts the contralateral nerve root via dural mater; (B) A coronary diagram indicating the traction force exerted on the contralateral nerve root by the herniated disc ...

The condylar capping for microvascular temporomandibular joint reconstruction: A preliminary study
Abstract Background Defects of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are often difficult to be reconstructed in the correct dimensions and function. This preliminary study aims to describe a novel technique of condylar reconstruction with a microvascular flap in case of deforming arthrosis of the TMJ: condylar capping.

Opioid Sparing Analgesics in Spine Surgery
Combinations of various nonopioid analgesics have been used to decrease pain and opioid consumption postoperatively allowing for faster recovery, improved patient satisfaction, and decreased morbidity. These opioid alternatives include acetaminophen, NSAIDs, COX‐2 specific inhibitors, gabapentinoids, local anesthetics, dexamethasone, and ketamine. Each

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has already had a significant impact on surgical treatment (spine). Because they are less invasive, minimally invasive treatments are often preferred over open spine surgery. MIS and open spine surgery in terms of posterior lumbar fusion (PLF), lumbar disc herniation (LDH), and cervical disc herniation (CDH) were all ...
