Article Synopsis
- Awake surgery using spinal anesthesia (SA) has been found to have benefits over general anesthesia (GA) in terms of shorter hospital stays and surgical times in spine surgeries.
- A systematic review analyzed 38 studies involving 7,820 patients and revealed that patients under SA experienced fewer complications, including lower rates of postoperative nausea and urinary retention compared to those under GA.
- The findings suggest that awake spine surgery could be a preferable option, offering both reduced surgical duration and fewer negative postoperative outcomes.
