Improving Safety in Complex Spine Surgery
August 2020
Complex spine surgery carries a high complication rate that can produce suboptimal outcomes for patients undergoing these extensive operations. However, multidisciplinary pathways introduced at multiple institutions have demonstrated a promising potential toward reducing the burden of complications in patients being treated for spinal deformities. See this paper.
Multidisciplinary Care Avoids Unnecessary Surgery
September 2017
Multidisciplinary conferences can reduce the utilization of lumbar spinal fusion, possibly resulting in more appropriate use of surgical interventions with better candidate selection while providing patients with more diverse nonoperative treatment options. See this paper.
Novel Techniques in Complex Spine Surgery
August 2017
The novel multistaged approach that Dr. Yanamadala uses for the correction of spinal deformity is associated with superior outcomes, fewer complications, and better patient satisfaction compared to older techniques. See this paper.
