Transforaminal Endoscopic Spine System for treatment of LumbarAdjacent Segment
Disease
Statement of the problem
: Adjacent Syndrome Disease (ASD) is the recurrence of symptoms associated with the degeneration
at the free segment above or below the fusion segments. In spine surgery, it is always a dilemma for spine surgeons owing to
the difficulty of surgical approach and risk concerns from patients. However, the methods of fusion are used wildly in Spine
Instability and Degenerative Disc Diseases and senile patients have more opportunities to face the problems ofASD. Transitional
Open Revision Surgery is a time-consuming procedure with high risks of dura tear and nerve root injury that hesitate the
surgeons to perform this kind of surgery. The purpose of this study is to describe the experience of Transforaminal Endoscopic
Spine System (TESSYS) to treat the ASD with minimal risk.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation
: Eight patients who were received Lumbar Spine Fusion had symptomatic ASD at
L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 levels, which was confirmed by MRI. Those patients were received TESSYS management
Findings
: All the patients were relieved from the Lumbar Adjacent Segment Disease without any complications.
Conclusion & Significance
: TESSYS is a safe and effective procedure to manage ASD consequently it prevents expectable
dura and root injury.
