A rare case of aneurysm of the lateral sacral artery is reported. This 46-year-old female presented with complaints of bowel and bladder incontinence and decreased perianal sensation for the past 15 months. She underwent laminectomy and diskectomy for the diagnosis of a prolapsed disk at peripheral hospital where the surgeon was confronted with a severe and unexpected hemorrhage, and surgery was aborted without effective treatment. Prior medical history includes hypertensive kidney disease with a renal transplant eight years ago. Magnetic resonance imaging and angiographic findings were suggestive of a lateral sacral artery aneurysm. Patient with a history of renal transplant and presenting with cauda equina require a more thorough assessment, and a differential of lateral sacral artery aneurysm should always be kept in mind. Our purpose is to report the pre-operative features of the lateral sacral artery aneurysm and its treatment modalities.

Background: Unilateral sacral fractures with posterior ring instability represent a prevalent type of posterior pelvic ring fracture. While lumbo-pelvic fixation is recognized as a highly stable method, the sufficiency of unilateral lumbo-pelvic fixation (ULF) for such fractures remains under debate.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the biomechanical stability of ULF compared to traditional bilateral lumbo-pelvic fixation (BLF) and triangular osteosynthesis (TO), incorporating clinical observations, and previous biomechanical data.

Objective: The potential of robot-assisted (RA) single-position (SP) lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) warrants further investigation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of RA-SP-LLIF in improving both clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery.

Methods: A total of 59 patients underwent either RA-SP-LLIF (n = 31 cases) or traditional LLIF (n = 28 cases).

Rationale: Retained rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) are unusual clinical presentations whose management is challenging for emergency physicians owing to variations in the object types, anorectal anatomy, sacral curvature, insertion times, and local contamination. Here, we present the diagnosis and treatment in 1 case of retained rectal foreign body.

Patient Concerns: A 62-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a cosmetic bottle inserted into the rectum while bathing.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to propose a lateral oscillating device for the prevention of pressure ulcers by understanding the mechanisms of tissue protection in healthy individuals during prolonged decubitus. We also sought to determine the optimal time interval for oscillation, considering peak pressure peaks and tolerable pressure limits as a function of individual characteristics such as age, weight, height, gender, and BMI.

Methods: A quasi-experimental, descriptive and analytical observational study was conducted between January 2022 and June 2023 with a sample of 25 healthy volunteers.
