Abstract: BACKGROUND Transdural disc herniations (TDHs) represent about 0.3% of all herniated discs. Preoperative imaging rarely demonstrates this particular condition. Therefore, diagnosis of TDH is usually made intraoperatively. We describe the clinicopathologic features of extremely rare… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/sni_168_2023
Abstract: Background: Recurrent disc herniations remain a challenge in spinal surgery. Although some authors recommend a repeat discectomy, others offer more invasive secondary fusions. Here, we reviewed the literature (2017–2022) regarding the safety/efficacy of treating recurrent… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/sni_996_2022
Abstract: Background: C2-C3 disc herniations are rare, but occur more frequent in the elderly population. As the classical anterior Cloward approach to these lesions is not optimal, we propose an alternative modified retropharyngeal approach to these… read more here.
