Article Synopsis
- Outpatient spinal surgery, particularly the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), is becoming more common, with many procedures now performed in an ambulatory setting.
- The study found that single-level ACDF surgeries comprised 62% of the total, with an average hospital stay of 4.7 hours, while two-level surgeries made up 38%, averaging 5.4 hours.
- No major complications, re-admissions, or deaths were reported, indicating that outpatient ACDF procedures can be safely performed, potentially reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.
