TL;DR: ERAS in spine surgery may provide reductions in complications, readmissions, length of stay, and opioid use, in combination with improvements in patient-reported outcomes and functional recovery, as well as the study design and internal validation methods.

TL;DR: This study compared the long‐term outcomes and health‐care costs associated with paddle and percutaneous lead implantation in SCS patients with chronic pain.

TL;DR: This study shows that stimulating dorsal lumbosacral spinal cord can effectively and safely activate mechanisms to elevate blood pressures to normal ranges from a chronic hypotensive state in humans with severe SCI with individual-specific CV-scES.

TL;DR: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) is used in tens of thousands of spinal fusions each year as discussed by the authors and is associated with an increased risk of cancer or benign tumors.

TL;DR: It is found that African-American patients were more likely to experience postoperative complications of any kind, even after adjusting for length of hospital stay, comorbidities, sex, and age, than white patients, at the national level.
