The minimally destructive lateral transpsoas approach to the spine has been used in the treatment of various lumbar spinal pathologies. Approach-specific complications have been reported due to the unique surgical corridor and lateral anatomical structures. The authors report a case of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) following interbody cage placement utilizing the lateral lumbar transpsoas approach. A review of the literature is discussed. Further clarification of the mechanism of CRPS and its treatments remains crucial for the fine-tuning of novel surgical techniques and complication avoidance during the development of these techniques.

Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) is a minimally invasive spinal surgery that is popular for lumbar degeneration and spinal deformity treatment because it causes minimal damage to the stability of the intervertebral structures. However, when encountering abnormal anatomical structures caused by situs inversus, surgical routes must be adjusted to avoid serious complications. A 42-year-old woman with lumbar spinal stenosis presented to our hospital. Preoperative X-ray and computed tomography indicated situs inversus totalis, with the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava reversed. We established an appropriate surgical approach for OLIF via the right abdomen according to the characteristics of the anatomical structures. Postoperative X-rays showed adequate positioning of the interbody fusion cage and internal fixation screws. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient reported resolution of her symptoms. Vascular variations caused by situs inversus totalis can affect the course of OLIF. Understanding the unique anatomical structure in such patients is crucial for successful surgery and to avoid intraoperative complications.

Based on the review of the literature and our own research deals with modern problems of neurosurgical treatment of drug-resistant pain face (prosopalgia). We investigated 1191 patients with somatogenic typical prosopalgia (mean patient age 33,57 years) with different stages of the pain syndrome intensive, age range 28 – 53 years.It was shown that patients with typical prosopalgia with the most severe pain syndrome with increasing duration of the disease increases and the percentage of drug-resistant forms. Tactics of treatment, indications, contraindications to the use of differentiated various surgical techniques are defined enough. The biggest problems arise in the treatment of patients with atypical drug-resistant prosopalgia.

The article presents the first clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient with spondylolysis spondylolisthesis using a combination of minimally invasive surgical techniques and simultaneous operation. This intervention has significantly reduced the level of vertebral pain syndrome, improve the functional status in the postoperative period, effectively eliminate pathological mobility, provide early activation, to carry out a full rehabilitation in the shortest possible time and can be an operation of choice in patients with lumbar spondylolysis spondylolisthesis. Conflict of interest: the authors state no conflict ofinterest Funding: the study was performed with no extermal funding

Abstract This review of the literature will focus on the indications, surgical techniques, and outcomes for expandable transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), and lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) operations. The expandable TLIF cage has become a workhorse for common degenerative pathology, whereas expandable ALIF cages carry the promise of greater lordotic correction while evading the diseased posterior elements. Expandable LLIF cages call upon minimally invasive techniques for a retroperitoneal, transpsoas approach to the disc space, obviating the need for an access surgeon and decreasing risk of injury to the critical neurovascular structures. Nuances between expandable and static cages for all 3 TLIF, ALIF, and LLIF operations are discussed in this review.
