Arthritis
There are no laboratory studies that would assist in diagnosis of spinal instability. Laboratory studies can be helpful in diagnosing certain conditions that could result in spinal stability, such as spine infections (CBC, ESR, blood cultures), rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid factor), ankylosing spondylitis (HLA-B27), multiple myeloma (serum immunoelectrophoresis, urine Bence-Jones proteins), and others.
Medical Weight Loss
Smoking Cessation
Infectious Diseases
Increase in axial load bearing capacity of the vertebrae. The greater cancellous-to-cortical bone ratio in the vertebral body compared to the posterior vertebral elements makes it more susceptible to neoplastic and infectious diseases, while its relationship to the IAR makes it more susceptible to compressive injuries. The relative preponderance of these disorders anterior to the spinal cord makes their surgical management more challenging, often requiring an anterior surgical approach to the spine. On the other hand, the large surface area and volume of the vertebral body make it an excellent target for insertion of screw/plate systems, which can be used to stabilize every segment of the subaxial spine.
Electrocardiogram
Routine preoperative tests usually consist of complete blood count, electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), international normalized ratio (INR), chest radiograph, and electrocardiogram. Blood is typed and screened. If extensive blood loss is anticipated, one or two units of packed red blood cells are cross-matched or a cell saver is used. Alternatively, if the procedure is scheduled electively, the patient may donate autologous blood several weeks before the surgery. Thigh-high compression stockings (TED hose) and sequential compression devices are applied for DVT prophylaxis preoperatively and are not removed until the patient is mobilized postoperatively.
Pneumonia

Endoscopy
Endoscopy is a technique in which a fiberoptic probe connected to a camera is inserted through a small opening into the brain or spine. The surgeon views the image on a TV monitor instead of the operating microscope. The surgeon's instruments are then inserted into the brain or spine adjacent to the endoscope to carry out the operation.
Urinary Tract Infection
Fever is not uncommon after fusion surgery. A low-grade fever on the first or second postoperative day is usually due to atelectasis and is treated with incentive spirometry and early patient mobilization. High-grade or protracted fever should be worked up to exclude pneumonia, urinary tract infection, wound infection, and bacteremia. The incision should be examined daily (by the healthcare staff during the hospitalization and by the patient and family after discharge). Occasionally, fever occurs in absence of any evidence of infection after an operation which required significant muscle retraction and manipulation, in which case it may be due to pyrogenic substances released as a result of muscle necrosis.

Neurology
Pakzaban P, Westmark K, Westmark R. Chiasmal apoplexy due to hemorrhage from a pituitary adenoma into the optic chiasm: case report.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
EMG (electromyogram) and NCV (nerve conduction velocity study) are two studies that are often performed together to look for nerve problems (such as carpal tunnel syndrome or a pinched nerve in the neck or back). A needle is inserted into a certain muscle. Electrical impulses are sent through electrodes and recorded through other electrodes. The analysis of the data (often by a neurologist) can help determine the source of the patient's nerve symptoms.
Multiple Sclerosis

Depression

MRI
Stereotactic technology allows the neurosurgeon to find and reach brain structures quickly and precisely based on the location of those structure on the patient's CT or MRI. There are two types of stereotaxy: frame-based and frameless.
Radiology
Modern operating room setup for spine surgery with fluoroscopy unit, neurophysiological monitoring equipment, operating microscope, and digital radiology monitors.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
CT scan (Computed Tomography; also known as CAT scan) is used to provide images of the brain, spine or other parts of the body. It uses Xray energy. The patient is placed on the CT table and is moved into a large donought-shaped scanner. Depending on what one is looking for, the CT scan may be performed with or without contrast. For CT with contrast, an IV is placed in the patient's arm and a dye is injected.
Chemotherapy
When overt instability is produced by a tumor, indications for surgery depend on the patient's life expectancy, physical condition, extent of cord compression, responsiveness to radiation and chemotherapy, number of motion segments involved by tumor, and severity of pain. The ideal candidate for decompression and fusion is a patient with limited systemic and spinal neoplastic disease who presents with an acute pathological fracture with incomplete cord compromise.

General Surgery
Minimally-invasive surgery is a general term used to describe surgical techniques that allow for smaller incisions and less tissue disruption. In general surgery, it often refers to laparoscopic surgery. In orthopedic surgery, it refers to arthroscopic surgery. In neurosurgery, it refers to endoscopic, microsurgical, and stereotactic techniques, used alone or in combination.

Neurosurgery
This news story aired on Fox News on May 27, 2009. It describes an invention by Dr. Pakzaban which helps spine surgeons find the appropriate area on the back to make an incision. Because the location of the target in the spine can be precisely defined with this device, called a Laser Localizer, a much smaller incision can be made. This invention, which was published by Dr. Pakzaban in the February 2009 issue of Journal of Neurosurgery (as the cover article ), represents an advance in the field of minimally-invasive spine surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

Laparoscopic Surgery

Lesions
Laminectomy is a common spine procedure in which bone in the back part (lamina) of one or more spinal vertebrae are removed. It is most commonly performed for treatment of spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal), but it may also be performed as a part of a procedure to remove spinal tumors, infections or other spine lesions. It may be performed in the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine. It may or may not be combined with a fusion.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Chronic overt instability is initially managed conservatively (analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, bracing). If and when the patient fails to respond to conservative mana
