Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different doses of ciprofol for the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients with diabetes undergoing spinal surgery.
Methods: Ninety elderly diabetic patients scheduled for elective single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) under general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to three groups according to the induction dose of ciprofol: group A (0.2 mg/kg), Group B (0.

Rationale: Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (PE-TLIF) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases, Due to the high incidence of surgical complications and long operative time, the cases reported in previous literature were focused on single segment lumbar degenerative diseases. In our study, we present 2 patients who had continuous double-level lumbar degenerated disease.
Patient Concerns: A 71-year-old man with severe low back pain and right leg pain for 3 months, a 57-year-old woman with severe low back pain and bilateral leg pain for 6 months.

Background: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) surgery has become increasingly popular in the surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. The optimal structure for stable double-segment fixation remains unclear.
Objective: To compare the biomechanical changes of unilateral fixation versus bilateral fixation in patients with lumbar degeneration undergoing double-segment TLIF surgery, and to explore the stability and feasibility of unilateral double-segment fixation.

Spine surgery has undergone significant advancements, particularly with regard to robotic systems that enhance surgical techniques and improve patient outcomes. As these technologies become increasingly integrated into surgical practice, it is essential to evaluate their added value and cost savings. Hence, this study compared robot-assisted and navigation-based spine surgery, focusing on surgical efficiency.

A four-dimensional (4D) anatomical spinal reconstruction (ASR) technique and anatomical notch-free, pre-bent rods have been developed for thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of ASR using notch-free rods through multiple comparisons with conventional methods, including the simultaneous double-rod rotation technique (SDRRT) and ASR using manually bent notched rods. Three consecutive series of 126 patients who underwent surgery for Lenke 1 AIS curves were prospectively followed up for 2 years after surgery.
