Outline of Final Research Achievements

We elucidated that recently introduced minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion surgery minimize the invasiveness of adult spinal deformity surgery. In addition, in order to elucidate the pathological condition of severe cervical deformity. Etiology and pathophysiological status of the severe cervical deformity has not been fully gained consensus. We, for the first time, elucidated the relatinship between total spinal balance and cervical kyphosis. We also examined whether cervical deformity surgery affects total spinal alignment or not. The primary goal of cervical reconstruction surgery is to achieve occiputtrunk concordance. Once it is achieved, subsequent thoracolumbar alignment changes occur as needed to harmonize global spinal alignment. Cervical reconstruction can restore both cervical deformity and global spinal alignment.
