Neel Anand, MD, and Eli M. Baron, MD, both spine surgeons at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles recently published a study in the European Spine Journal on their findings regarding minimally invasive spine deformity correction.

Drs. Anand and Baron call the minimally invasive technique a “promising method of spinal deformity correction” and write that early clinical results are similar to open techniques, “with reduced blood loss and less complications than traditional approaches.”

The researching surgeons reviewed transpsoas and presacral approaches for discectomy and fusion, and multilevel posterior percutaneous pedicle instrumentation and rod placement for deformity correction. They reviewed their results using these techniques as well as results published on the topic in recent spine surgery literature.
