MINI: The neurological risks in posterior vertebral column resection can be resulted from spinal cord tension changes following correction maneuvers being performed. On the basis of intraoperative neuromonitoring alerts, to timely identify them as well to act prompt surgical interventions can decrease the risks. ⋯ 5.

MINI: We assessed 90-day readmission and evaluated risk factors associated with readmission after lumbar spinal fusion surgery in New York State. The overall 90-day readmission rate was 24.8%. Age, sex, race, insurance, procedure, number of operated spinal levels, health service area, and comorbidities are major risk factors for 90-day readmission.

MINI: The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of pedicle screw placement using O-Arm at dosages below the manufactured recommended dose. O-Arm at reduced dose showed a 90% accuracy when compared with computed tomography; however, about 30% medial breaches were misclassified.
-
MINI: A modified selective anesthetics delivery rabbit model was used validated to a better preferential anesthesia than previous models. Furthermore, we found evidence that primarily the spinal cord mediated the skeletal muscle relaxation action of sevoflurane.

MINI: Posterior hemivertebra resection with anterior structural reconstruction and short segmental fusion may be a reliable procedure for selected patients with scoliokyphosis due to a hemivertebra, providing good correction both on the coronal and sagittal planes, saving mobile segments with lower risk of implants failures. ⋯ 4.
