Interspinous Process Spacers for Indirect Lumbar Decompression

2019
Interspinous process spacers fill a significant gap in the treatment algorithm for lumbar spinal stenosis between conservative treatment options, such as physical therapy, injections, and medications, and, at the other end of the spectrum, surgical treatments (e.g., open laminectomy).

Indirect foraminal decompression after lateral transpsoas interbody fusion

Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, 2012
Object Lateral transpsoas interbody fusion (LTIF) permits anterior column lumbar interbody fusion via a direct lateral approach. The authors sought to answer 3 questions. First, what is the effect of LTIF on lumbar foraminal area? Second, how does interbody cage placement affect intervertebral height?

Clinical evaluation of indirect decompression treatments for degenerative adult idiopathic scoliosis

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2011
Prospective case series.Degenerative idiopathic scoliosis can be a cause of back pain. We sought to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of indirect decompression treatment in posterior correction and fusion for adult idiopathic scoliosis patients with radiculopathy and combined lateral olisthesis and/or foraminal stenosis.Thirty seven ...

Indirect Decompression of the Carpal Tunnel During Basal Joint Arthroplasty of the Thumb

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2008
In patients having basal joint arthroplasty, rates of concomitant carpal tunnel syndrome may exceed 43%. Excision of the trapezium during basal joint arthroplasty partially releases the transverse carpal ligament. The objective of this study was to determine whether indirect release of the remaining fibers of the ligament at its insertion on the ...

Surgical Decompression or Corticosteroid Treatment of Indirect Traumatic Optic Neuropathy

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Background Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare cause of severe permanent visual impairment after injury. Traumatic optic neuropathy may occur due to sharp trauma (direct injury) that damages the optic nerve directly or due to damage from the transmitted forces after a concussive blow to the head or orbit (indirect injury)

Quantified MRI measurements show the significance of indirect decompression in the lumbar spine

European Spine Journal
Although several studies have documented indirect decompression after oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), limited research exists that directly quantifies the degree of decompression. This study seeks to quantify the degree of indirect decompression achieved by OLIF using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).This is a retrospective study of ...

[Linear accelerator of decompression for indirect blood pressure measurement].

Meditsinskaia tekhnika, 1994
The paper provides the author's decompression linearizer of indirect blood pressure measuring device which is intended for automatic maintenance of constant decreases of air pressure in the cuff and represents a controlled pneumo-resistance whose values are automatically changed under the action of pressure and air consumption in the meter cuff.

[Early trans-sphenoid decompression in indirect traumatic optic neuropathy].

HNO, 1998
Indirect traumatic optic neuropathy represents a severe, potential vision-threatening disease process that requires close interdisciplinary cooperation for treatment. In general, any therapy has been discussed controversially in the literature. Based upon experiences with spinal cord trauma, high-dose steroid therapy is recommended initially to ...

Optic nerve decompression for indirect posterior optic nerve trauma.

Acta oto-rhino-laryngologica Belgica, 1992
Posterior indirect optic nerve trauma is a rare but possibly dramatic event. Since spontaneous recovery is unlikely, medical treatment by megadose steroid therapy is advocated. Optic nerve decompression may be usefull, but is still controversial. Medial optic canal wall decompression seems best and may be achieved by various approaches.
