Surgical versus Nonsurgical Treatment for Adult Spinal Deformity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

RETRACTED: Commentary: Computational Analysis for ERAS and Other Surgical Processes: Commentary From Clinical Perspective

“…Nowadays, many diseases need to be treated or diagnosed by surgery ( 1 ). Surgical treatment can produce better improvement on body function of patients compared with non-surgical treatment ( 2 ). However, surgery often result in a high complication rate, which will affect postoperative recovery and lengthen hospital stay ( 3 , 4 ).…”

Model-Based Computational Analysis on the Effectiveness of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery in the Operating Room with Nursing

“…With the development of surgery, the field of surgery has been expanding, and today, it can be performed in any part of the human body ( 7 – 10 ). In addition, it has been reported that surgery has greater efficacy than non-surgical treatments in curing some human diseases ( 11 , 12 ).…”

Adult Spinal Deformity: A Comprehensive Review of Current Advances and Future Directions

“…In the past years, conservative treatment of ASD was preferred [29] because surgical intervention warranted prolonged recovery time, involved difficult perioperative management, and was associated with a high complication rate and costs [36][37][38]. Conservative treatment includes physical therapy, consuming oral or parenteral analgesics, and brace, but this approach does not improve disability or the quality of life of patients with ASD [39]. Multicenter prospective studies have shown that surgical treatments can considerably improve patient-reported clinical outcomes such as ODI, SRS, and HRQoL scores [1,16].…”

“…Multicenter prospective studies have shown that surgical treatments can considerably improve patient-reported clinical outcomes such as ODI, SRS, and HRQoL scores [1,16]. A meta-analysis conducted in 2022 showed that surgical intervention improved the patient-reported clinical outcomes, including pain and disability (measured using SRS-22 score, ODI, Visual Analog Scale, and Numeric Rating Scale) and correction of scoliotic curves [39]. Common complications of surgical treatment include mechanical and neurological deficits, cardiopulmonary and gastrointestinal problems, and infections.…”

“…Minimally invasive laminectomy with or without a foraminotomy is advantageous for older patients with degenerative scoliosis because this surgical procedure relieves radicular symptoms and decreases the risks associated with open procedures [50]. However, MIS must be carefully chosen because it may not effectively reduce back pain or sagittal imbalance [39]. Furthermore, these procedures are associated with a risk of complications such as recurrent radiculopathy and mechanical instability that may require posterior spinal instrumented fusion in the future.…”
