    Lateral Cervical MBB Flow

    You are right! Sorry, it is my mistake, 2.5 in ndl indeed, in the past 10 years, no exceptions. Imo, you have to go through layers of paraspinal muscles using posterior approach, this may or may not affect the accuracy of mbb.

    Lumbar Sympathetic Block

    I do some, but it's definitely not well-paid. I usually insert two needles at the L2 and L3 levels. The block has been reliable, but the relief is usually short-lived.

    Kyphoplasty with 2 C arms

    nice, could you elaborate more on how you adjust to cover the upper endplate well? for example, you access from the left-sided pedicle, the needle goes from the upper part of the vertebrate on the left side to the lower part of the vertebrate on the right side, and cement delivery to the left...

    I thought you replied to my post by mistake, there was just a question of retrialing there, I do not retrial the patient in the same segment. lol
