Background: The single-position prone transpsoas (PTP) lateral interbody fusion represents an alternative approach to the traditional lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) typically performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. Advantages of PTP surgery include improved segmental lordosis, single-position surgery, and ease of performing posterior techniques as needed. However, the learning curve of PTP is distinct from that of traditional LLIF surgery performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position.

The occurrence of pancreatitis shortly after elective lumbar spine surgery in an adult is rare. We report a case of a 63-year-old female who developed, for the first time, acute pancreatitis within three days of elective lumbar (L) spine surgery that was performed for degenerative disk disease without significant deformity (i.e.
