Cervical total disc arthroplasty (TDA) is an alternative procedure to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion that facilitates neural decompression while both preserving motion of the spinal unit and decreasing the risk for degenerative changes at adjacent segments.

It is controversial whether lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) itself contributes to low back pain (LBP). Lower truncal skeletal muscle mass, spinopelvic malalignment, intervertebral disc degeneration, and endplate abnormalities are thought to be related to LBP. However, whether these factors cause LBP in patients with LSS is unclear.

There is apparent causality between chronic infection of the intervertebral disc and its degenerative process. Although disc is considered a sterile tissue, collected samples of uninfected patients sent to culture testing resulted positive.

The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is a multidisciplinary, multimodal approach which has been shown to facilitate recovery of physiological function, and reduce postoperative pain, complication rates, and length of stay without adversely affecting readmission rates.

: Anterior lumbar fusion surgery is increasing by an estimated 24% annually in the United States. There is a paucity of precise anatomic guidelines to help surgeons determine the appropriate anterior access incision site.

Postoperative ileus is a major barrier to gastrointestinal recovery following surgery. Opioid analgesics likely play an important causative role, particularly in spinal or orthopedic surgeries not involving bowel manipulation. Methylnaltrexone, a peripherally-acting µ-opioid receptor antagonist, is a potential prophylactic treatment.

As more patients undergo anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) procedures and more devices are created for that purpose, it is important to understand the complications that can arise and the variables that mitigate risk for major and minor complications.

Preservation of the more mobile lumbar segments is important during thoracolumbar/lumbar scoliosis surgery; however, the remaining disc wedge angle (DWA) below lowermost instrumented vertebra (LIV) and vertebral body tilt below LIV (LIV+1 tilt) can cause curve progression.

The lumbar sinuvertebral nerve (SVN) innervates the outer posterior intervertebral disc (IVD); it is thought to mediate discogenic low-back pain (LBP). Controversy, however, exists on its origins at higher (L1–L2) versus lower (L3–L5) lumbar levels.

Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) is a gram-positive facultative anaerobe found in the deep sebaceous follicles of the skin on the shoulder and back. C. acnes has been increasingly recognized as a pathogen in spinal surgical site infection (SSI) especially in the presence of instrumentation.
