Although postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is common after spine surgery, the association of this adverse event with other morbidities and patient-reported outcomes is not fully understood. We sought to examine the sequelae of POUR after lumbar spine surgery. ⋯ POUR is common after lumbar spine surgery, and the demographic, diagnostic, and surgical factors that are associated with POUR are identified. POUR is associated with several adverse events, and patients who have POUR were less likely to be satisfied with surgery up to 2 years after surgery.

This study aims to report the clinical outcome of stand-alone lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) on recurrent disk herniation and to compare the outcome of stand-alone LLIF to that of conventional transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). ⋯ Stand-alone LLIF is a safe and effective approach with low morbidity and acceptable complication rates for patients with recurrent disk herniation after a previous percutaneous endoscopic lumbar diskectomy surgery. Compared with the TLIF procedure, LLIF could achieve a similar improvement of patient-reported outcome with a better VAS back pain score.

Despite a variety of technologies that are available for treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms, certain anatomic configurations remain challenging to address endovascularly. ⋯ This case illustrates a number of important considerations in the management approach for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms.
