BACKGROUND: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion is performed to fuse pathological spinal segments, generally, with a monobloc cage inserted by impact forces. Recently developed three-part modular cages attempt to reduce the impact forces, minimize the d...
BACKGROUND: To compare the clinical outcomes of patients with lumbar disc herniation treated with robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (r-PELD) or conventional PELD under fluoroscopy guidance (f-PELD).
OBJECTIVE: Interspinous motion (ISM) is a representative method for evaluating the functional fusion status following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery, but the associated measuring difficulty and potential errors in the clinical...
OBJECTIVE: In clinical spine surgery research, manually reviewing surgical forms to categorize patients by their surgical characteristics is a crucial yet time-consuming task. Natural language processing (NLP) is a machine learning tool used to adapt...
BACKGROUND: The frequency of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has increased up to 400% since 2011, underscoring the need to preoperatively anticipate adverse postoperative outcomes given the procedure's expanding use. Our study aims to ...

BACKGROUND: Tubular microdiscectomy (TMD) is a treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Although the combination of MRI and deep learning (DL) has shown promise, its application in evaluating postoperative outcomes in TMD has not been fully explor...
