A systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ These results support several advantages of spinal endoscopic techniques for the treatment of symptomatic TOLF. These include low complication rates, rapid postoperative recovery, and good functional recovery when used for single-segment, non-nodular ossification and no combined dural ossification.

Multicenter Study
Revision Free Loss of Sagittal Correction > 3 Years After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Who and Why?
Multicenter retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Approximately, a quarter of revision-free patients lose an average of 10° of their 6-week correction by 3 years. Lordosis is lost proximally through the instrumentation ( i.e. tulip/shank angle shifts and/or rod bending). The use of supplemental rods and avoiding sagittal overcorrection may help mitigate this loss.
