Use of the subcutaneous lumbar spine (SLS) index as a predictor for surgical complications in lumbar spine surgery
K Shaw, J Chen, W Sheppard, M Alazzeh, H Park… - The Spine Journal, 2018 - Elsevier
Background context Lumbar spine surgeries require adequate exposure to visualize key
structures and limited exposure can make surgery more technically difficult, thus increasing
the potential for complications. Body mass index and body mass distribution have been
shown to be associated with worse surgical outcomes. Purpose This study aims to further
previous investigations in elucidating the predictive nature of body mass distribution with
peri-and postoperative complications in lumbar surgery. Study Design/Setting This is a …
