Background: Short-segment lumbar spinal surgery is the most performed procedure for treatment of degenerative disc disease. However, population-based data regarding reoperation and joint replacement surgeries after short-segment lumbar spinal surgery is limited.
Methods: The study was a retrospective cohort design using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database for data collection. Patients selected were diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease and undergone lumbar discectomy surgery between 2002 and 2013. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the incidence of 1-year spine reoperation and joint replacement surgeries, and the Cox proportional hazard regression was used to examine risk factors associated with the outcomes of interest.
Results: A total of 90,105 patients were included. Incidences of 1-year spine reoperation and joint replacement surgeries for the hip and knee were 0.27, 0.04, and 0.04 per 100 people/month. Compared to fusion with the fixation group, fusion without fixation and the non-fusion group had higher risks of spine reoperation. Risk factors associated with spine reoperation included fusion without fixation, non-fusion surgery, age ≥ 45 years old, male gender, diabetes, a Charlson Comorbidity Index = 0, lowest social economic status, and steroid use history. Spine surgeries were not risk factors for joint replacement surgeries.
Conclusions: Non-fusion surgery and spinal fusion without fixation had higher risks for spine reoperation. Spine surgeries did not increase the risk for joint replacement surgeries.

Delta large-channel endoscopy versus unilateral biportal endoscopy decompressive laminectomy for lumbar spinal stenosis: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
J Orthop Surg Res

Center of Medical Genetics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, China.
Background: Delta large-channel endoscopy and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) are prominent minimally invasive techniques for treating lumbar spinal stenosis, known for minimal tissue damage, clear visualization, and quick recovery. However, rigorous controlled research comparing these procedures is scarce, necessitating further investigation into their respective complications and long-term effectiveness. This randomized controlled trial aims to compare their perioperative outcomes, focusing on postoperative recovery and complications over time.

Importance: Limited data exist comparing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare TLH versus LSCH at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse, hypothesizing that LSCH would demonstrate a higher proportion of recurrent prolapse, but a lower proportion of mesh exposures.
Study Design: This was a retrospective, secondary analysis comparing a prospective cohort of patients undergoing TLH sacrocolpopexy versus a retrospective cohort of patients who had undergone LSCH sacrocolpopexy.
The economic burden of diabetes in spinal fusion surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed at comparing the costs of spinal fusion surgery between patients with and without diabetes.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of four databases was conducted. A meta-analysis was performed on comparative studies examining diabetic versus non-diabetic adults undergoing cervical/lumbar fusion in terms of cost.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence for Research and Learning (NOCERAL), Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Study Design: Retrospective study.
Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of rapid recovery protocol (RRP) in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Cobb angle ≥90 degrees underwent single-staged posterior spinal fusion (PSF).
Summary Of Background Data: Corrective surgeries in severe AIS patients entail a higher risk of prolonged operation, excessive bleeding, extended hospital stay, and higher complication rates compared with non-severe AIS patients.
Analysis of risk factors for surgical site infection in spinal surgery patients and study of direct economic losses.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Infection Management Department, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, Urumqi, Xinjiang, 830011, China.
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication of spine surgery, leading to prolonged hospital stays, re-operations, and economic losses. The aim of the study was to explore the types and quantities of pathogenic bacteria involved, the incidence of SSI, and to identify the independent risk factors and direct economic impact on patients with postoperative SSI in spine surgery.
Methods: The medical records of spine surgery patients from January 2023 to April 2024 at two hospitals in Xinjiang were retrospectively reviewed.
