[Abdullah T. Eissa @AbdullahTEissa]

33yo F with recurrent right radiculopathy & motor weakness post-discectomy. 

Key takeaway: Traversed dense scar, cleared the space, & deployed a banana cage in the anterior third. Anterior footprint=ideal fulcrum for segmental lordosis & indirect foraminal height.

Honored to present my proposed Universal Framework for Adjacent Segment Pathology at the AO MENA Research Forum in Cairo. Grateful for the insightful discussions and valuable feedback from colleagues. Looking forward to the next phase of validation and collaboration. #AOSpine

[Abdullah T. Eissa @AbdullahTEissa]

It isn’t about creating the perfect X-ray. It’s about identifying every pain generator, decompressing the neural elements, restoring age-appropriate alignment, achieving durable fixation, and respecting the patient’s biology.
Don’t fight the spine.

New 2026 Neurospine meta-analysis: Endoscopic discectomy vs microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
ED: shorter stays, fewer wound issues, better early recovery.
But: higher recurrence(esp. transforaminal)& no long-term edge.
MD still the gold standard for now!

Case from my practice: ACDF using a stand-alone device with integrated screws.

Careful planning and technique achieved stable fixation and decompression.

MIS posterior fixation for an unstable L1 fracture.

When appropriately selected, minimally invasive techniques can provide solid stabilization while minimizing soft-tissue disruption and supporting early recovery.

Sharing postoperative radiographs from a recent cervical spine case. It’s always impressive how carefully planned spinal stabilization can have such a meaningful impact on protecting the spinal cord.

If a CT-guided biopsy is inconclusive, a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) biopsy can provide the needed diagnosis. MIS gives adequate tissue with less contamination and disruption, often outperforming open biopsy in difficult areas.
