Review Meta Analysis Comparative StudyUnilateral versus bilateral fixation for lumbar spinal fusion: a systemic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this study was to systematically compare the efficacy and safety of unilateral fixation to bilateral fixation for the lumbar degenerative disease. ⋯ Unilateral fixation seems to be an effective, feasible, and safe procedure in one or two segmental disease when compare with bilateral instrumentation.

Meta Analysis
A meta-analysis of unilateral versus bilateral pedicle screw fixation in minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion.
Meta-analysis. ⋯ Unilateral PS fixation appears as effective and safe as bilateral PS fixation in MIS lumbar interbody fusion but requires less operative time and causes less blood loss, thus offering a simple alternative approach for one-level lumbar degenerative disease.

Review Meta Analysis
Prevalence of complications in neuromuscular scoliosis surgery: a literature meta-analysis from the past 15 years.
Our objectives were primarily to review the published literature on complications in neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) surgery and secondarily, by means of a meta-analysis, to determine the overall pooled rates (PR) of various complications associated with NMS surgery. ⋯ NMS patients have diverse and high complication rates after scoliosis surgery. High PRs of complications warrant more attention from the surgical community. Although the PR of all complications are affected by heterogeneity, they nevertheless provide valuable insights into the impact of methodological settings (sample size), patient characteristics (age at surgery), and continual advances in patient care on complication rates.

Review Meta Analysis
Prevalence of adjacent segment degeneration after spine surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Systematic review of published prevalence of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after spine surgery. ⋯ Spine surgery is associated with significant risk of ASD. These figures may be useful in the estimation of the burden of the ASD after spine surgery.
