The XLIF procedures included the use of surgeon directed neuromonitoring designed to identify the proximity of surgical instruments to the nerves of the lumbar plexus and thereby avoid injury to those ...

Specifically, they recommended that the lumbosacral plexus is a more suitable nerve site for measurements than the brachial plexus. “We recommend FA and CSA in the lumbosacral plexus as promising ...

This figure shows an anterior psoas muscle, “Mickey Mouse ears,” suggesting that the lumbar plexus may be pulled anterior as well — a contraindication to the approach. Procedure.

Moreover, to boost the segmentation performance, different scale features from the prompt encoder are concatenated to the Upsample Block in the mask decoder. We validate our MA-SAM on the two spine ...

The lumbar plexus has seven bundles of nerves, and the obturator nerve is the second most inferior, or lowest, nerve in this network. What Does the Obturator Nerve Do? ...

The lumbar plexus contains the ventral rami (front portions of spinal nerves) that emerge from between the five lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5). In addition, it's joined by a portion of the lowest thoracic ...

LLIF/XLIF surgeries, while minimally invasive, carry some risks and potential complications. These may include nerve injury (particularly to the lumbar plexus, leading to weakness or numbness in the ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral segment revealed a solid, nodular paraspinal mass (50 35 20mm), closely related to the left L4 nerve root and located between the psoas and iliacus ...

Background and Objectives: Based on the case reports of hemorrhagic complications, recommendations for the removal of lumbar plexus catheters in anticoagulated patients were created. These guidelines ...
