    Abstract Minimally invasive repair of pars defects can be achieved via means of cannulation followed by tubular decortication. Given these injuries typically occur in pediatric and adolescent patients, minimal disruption to surrounding tissue during the repair is ideal. The use of an endoscopic approach to assist with repair and fusion across the pars defect is a novel consideration in the pediatric demographic, and in this case report we highlight our experience and rationale for this in treating a 14-year-old male athlete with lumbar 5 pars fracture. Radiographic evidence of bony fusion was seen by the third postoperative month. In this case report we demonstrate the invasive nature of this repair can be minimized further than current convention with successful radiographic and clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Treatment for vertebral osteomyelitis varies depending on the extent of pathology and includes both medical and surgical approaches. Pathogen-directed antibiotic therapy is often the first-line treatment, however, refractory cases or those with sepsis, segmental instability, or epidural abscess may be candidates for surgical treatment. Patients with extensive bony destruction often require a corpectomy with the placement of a cage for anterior column reconstruction. In this case report, we describe a patient with a complex past medical history, including paraplegia secondary to a spinal cord infarct, chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and decubitus ulcers who presented with increasing back pain and imaging demonstrating vertebral osteomyelitis and diskitis with associated epidural abscess extending from L1-L4 vertebral bodies and significant osseous destruction of the L3 and L5 vertebral bodies. A multistage surgical approach was performed involving an initial laminectomy, wound wash-out, and bony debridement followed by an additional wound wash-out and then a posterior approach for corpectomy and graft placement accomplished by tying off the thecal sac. In rare cases where patients present with complete neurologic injury and extensive destructive osteomyelitis, a posterior approach for corpectomy and stabilization may be an option.

    Abstract The performance of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion through a Kambin's triangle approach requires significant modifications when compared to a traditional transforaminal discectomy. Indeed, due to the inherently limited field of view, small working corridor, and need to deploy an adequately sized interbody graft, there are several important technical adaptations which can help improve the efficacy of this approach. In this manuscript, the technical aspects of a percutaneous, endoscopic interbody fusion are discussed in detail.

    Abstract Vertebral osteomyelitis/discitis is a relatively rare disease but is a known potential complication of spinal surgical intervention. In general, the first-line treatment for this condition is targeted antibiotic therapy with surgical intervention only utilized in refractory cases with evidence of extensive damage, structural instability, or abscess formation. However, surgical best practices have not been established for osteomyelitis, including indications for anterior lateral interbody fusion (ALIF), posterior lateral interbody fusion (PLIF), or direct lateral interbody fusion (DLIF). This case provides a discussion of the indications that led to a direct lateral approach in the setting of refractory osteomyelitis/discitis, supporting factors that led to its success, and the efficacy of utilizing intraoperative neuromonitoring in cases of infection.

    Abstract Abstract: Cervical spinal injuries are a rare, but potentially devastating occurrence in sports. Although many of these injuries occur in unsupervised sports, they are also seen in organized sports - most commonly in football, wrestling, and ice hockey. Additionally, although each sport is associated with its own unique injury patterns, axial loading remains a common theme seen in cervical injuries associated with significant neurologic impairment. Regardless of the mechanism, a cautious and conservative approach should be taken with regards to evaluation, management, and return to play.

    Abstract Given the inherent limitations of spinal endoscopic surgery, proper lighting and visualization are of tremendous importance. These limitations include a small field of view, significant potential for disorientation, and small working cannulas. While modern endoscopic surgery has evolved in spite of these shortcomings, further progress in improving and enhancing visualization must be made to improve the safety and efficacy of endoscopic surgery. However, in order to understand potential avenues for improvement, a strong basis in the physical principles behind modern endoscopic surgery is first required. Having established these principles, novel techniques for enhanced visualization can be considered. Most compelling are technologies that leverage the concepts of light transformation, tissue manipulation, and image processing. These broad categories of enhanced visualization are well established in other surgical subspecialties and include techniques such as optical chromoendoscopy, fluorescence imaging, and 3-dimensional endoscopy. These techniques have clear applications to spinal endoscopy and represent important avenues for future research.

    Abstract There has been a definite upward trend in outpatient minimally invasive spine (MIS) surgery over the past decade. This increasing prevalence has been driven by several factors including advanced MIS techniques, improvements in perioperative pain management, and economic necessity. There is now a myriad of different spine surgery procedures which can be effectively employed in the outpatient setting, and the concept of awake, endoscopic fusion surgery represents a notable advance in the field. Additionally, the use of multi-modality analgesic agents has shown significant promise in this arena and has become increasingly important in states where legislation affecting narcotic prescriptions have been enacted. Finally, with an aging population, the need for outpatient spine surgery has become imperative from an economic standpoint.
