#New: This review evaluates various MIS techniques, assesses their roles in ASD when compared to traditional open surgery, and highlights potential future directions in minimally invasive spine surgery @AOSpine . DOI: doi.org/10.1177/219256…
Dr. Uribe, thank you so much for the incredible opportunity to grow at BNI. It’s such a transformative experience. I’m deeply grateful and especially proud to have shared this journey as one of your fellows-Legacy. Here’s to continuing to advance spine care and technology!
🎓 Huge congrats to spine fellows Dr. Winward Choy & Dr. Juan Pedro Giraldo on graduating from @BarrowNeuro! From surgical innovation to VR patents and groundbreaking research, your impact this year has been extraordinary. Here’s to the future of spine care! #Neurosurgery
#CaseStudy: Invasive aspergillosis is a rare diagnosis that typically arises in immunocompromised patients. Happy to provide a different case:immunocompetent patient with no sign of extraspinal infection, keep in mind for differentials. Link: thejns.org/caselessons/do…
#NewStudy: Predicting spinopelvic alignment after L5-S1 ALIF? Answer: Post-op segmental lordosis (SL) can be predicted using: SLpost = 8.741 + (0.454 × Cage Angle) + (0.595 × SLpre) (P < 0.001, Power = 0.98) Cage angle + preop SL = key to optimizing outcomes. DOI: 10.14444/8751
#NewStudy: compares dual-position vs single-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Findings suggest single-position LLIF has shorter OR time, lower costs, and similar post-op hospital stay. #LLIF #SpineSurgery #CostEfficiency Link: thejns.org/spine/view/jou…
New work published in @thejns Spine for the article "An evidence-based review of the current surgical treatments for chronic low-back pain: rationale, indications, and novel therapies" written by Drs. @JuanPGiraldoMD , @thejuansuribe, et al #medtwitter #neuroscience #neurotwitter
Thankful for the chance to present at @spinesection and proud of the advancements in neurosurgical education and spine training using emerging technologies like MR and AI. #SpineSummit2025 #Neurosurgery #AI #MR #SpineTraining
Spine Research Tuesday: Mixed Reality in Spine Surgery Training 🧠💡 Mixed Reality offers safe, cost-effective tools for education & surgical rehearsal. This study reviews Mixed Reality's role in neurosurgery & introduces a spine-focused Mixed Reality prototype for pedicle…
Strong work team! #SonntagVRLab
Congrats to the #SonntagVRLab on their recent @TheJNS: Spine publication reviewing the current state & future potential of #mixedreality applications on #neurosurgery training. They also introduced their 1st MR prototype for #spine #neurosurgerytraining: bar.rw/mrjns
#Spine: Our study highlights the safety and effectiveness of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) in patients over 75 with degenerative spine disease. #SpineSurgery #LLIF #Geriatrics #Neurosurgery
In the past two decades, our life expectancy has seen a remarkable increase. I'm excited to share that our latest publication confirms the sustainability of MIS lateral interbody fusion surgery for the expanding older population. #Neurosurgery
New: Manuscript for Intraoperative Intercostal Nerve Block after retropleural thoracic discectomy. Thanks #Neuropub @PeterMLawrence1 for guiding our illustration. @thejuansuribe: this step has significant clinical spine effects. #Neurosurgery #ThoracicSpine
Hi #MedTwitter! My name is Juan P. Giraldo (JP), I'm the Sonntag Research Fellow at @BarrowNeuro applying for #Neurosurgery #Match2025. My interests include technology integration, #MedEd, Device development, and #SpineResearch. I enjoy beach volleyball, hiking, and tennis.
Incredible 2024 Annual #SMISS @ForSpine Meeting in #LasVegas! I spent an unforgettable weekend learning from pioneers in minimally invasive spine surgery and even had the opportunity to share some thrilling findings from @BarrowNeuro #Spine #Neurosurgery #MinimallyInvasive
This insightful online article offers a compelling perspective on future landscapes, emerging technologies, and patient safety in #SpineSurgery. It's a must-read. Don't miss out! #WhyItMatters @BarrowNeuro
Advancements in technology have revolutionized the landscape of spine surgery, offering unprecedented levels of safety and efficacy for patients undergoing such procedures. Read Enabling Technologies and Why it Matters to a #SpineSurgeon by Jonathan J. Lee, MD, @thejuansuribe and…
#NewStudy: Low Posterior Electromyographic Threshold and Functional Outcomes After L4-5 Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion: In 42 cases, no link found between EMG threshold & nerve injury. 2% motor, 38% transient sensory deficits (0% at 6 mo) #LLIF #Neurosurgery #EMG
