Abstract Object Lumbar spine surgery can be performed using a variety of anesthetic modalities, most notably general or spinal anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine if either anesthetic modality is more cost-effective in cases of lumbar discectomy or laminectomy spine surgery. Methods 542 patients who underwent elective lumbar spine surgery at the University of Pennsylvania between 2007-2011 performed by a single faculty surgeon were retrospectively identified, with 364 having received

On 8/25/17, I attended Mr. Barrera’s follow-up appointment with Dr. Dietzel to evaluate the status of his left shoulder postoperative. X-rays were taken prior to him being seen. Mr. Barrera presented ambulating with both shoulders in alignment. He reported pain only while participating in therapeutic exercises. He demonstrated lifting his right arm only to shoulder height, was able to extend elbows with minimal difficulty, but unable to reach arm behind back to the sacrum. After his exam, Dr

admitted to Gateway Diagnostics on August 8, 2016. There, he was evaluated by Dr. Skiles. Mr. Williams complained of continued back pain, neck pain and headaches. At Gateway Diagnostic, Mr. Williams was performed a Lumbar Spine MRI, Thoracic Spine MRI, and a Cervical Spine MRI. The Lumbar Spine MIR diagnosed a multilevel degenerative anterior endplate spurring, disk desiccation, disk bulge, facet degeneration and a bilateral neural foraminal stenosis. The Thoracic Spine MRI, diagnosed a discogenic

The international association for the study of pain has defined pain as unpleasant and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage20. Spinal anesthesia was first produced by Corning in 1885 and first used deliberately by Bier in 1898. Glucose containing solution for spinal anesthesia was introduced by Barker in 1907. Since then hyperbaric solutions are in use for spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia is preferred over general anesthesia

The use of pedicle screw instrumentation in the spine has evolved over the last two decades. The preliminary use of pedicle screws began in the lumbar spine. As surgeons became more comfortable with the complex anatomy required for accurate screw placement, the use of pedicle instrumentation has evolved to include their use in the thoracolumbar and thoracic spine. The impetus behind their increased use is a result of the many advantages that pedicle screw anchorage offers over traditional hook and
