Safety and feasibility of outpatient ACDF in an ambulatory setting: A retrospective chart review.

Background: Outpatient spinal surgery is becoming increasingly common and in some areas is now the preferred course for certain procedures. Many different procedures, including ACDF, have been examined in the outpatient setting in the past few years but to our knowledge none have included the ambulatory setting.

Methods: All ACDF procedures performed during the time frame of the study were included.
