Multicenter Study
Perioperative Complications and Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Severe Pediatric Spinal Deformity.
Prospective multicenter cohort study. ⋯ Most perioperative complications for severe pediatric spinal deformity resolve within 2-years postoperatively and do not result in adverse HRQoL outcomes. However, patients with unresolved complications have decreased HRQoL outcomes.

Multicenter Study
Comparison of Robotics and Navigation for Clinical Outcomes Following Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion.
Retrospective cohort. ⋯ Robotics did not seem to lead to significantly better clinical outcomes compared with navigation following MI-TLIF. Although the clinical outcomes may be similar, robotics offers the advantages of reduced radiation exposure, greater screw size, and slightly better accuracy over navigation. These advantages should be considered when determining the utility and cost-effectiveness of robotics in spine surgery. Larger multicenter prospective studies are required in the future to further investigate this subject.

Multicenter Study
Quality of Life and Postoperative Satisfaction in Patients with Benign Extramedullary Spinal Tumors: A Multicenter Study.
Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected registry data. ⋯ Patients who underwent primary benign EST resection had a significant improvement in HRQOL postoperatively, and ~90% of these patients reported being satisfied with their treatment outcomes one year after surgery. EST patients may exhibit a relatively lower threshold for postoperative satisfaction compared with patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spine conditions.
