Comparative Study
Comparison of inpatient vs. outpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a retrospective case series.
Spinal surgery is increasingly being done in the outpatient setting. We reviewed our experience with inpatient and outpatient single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with plating (ACDF+P). ⋯ In this series, outpatient ACDF+P was safe and was not associated with a significant difference in outcome compared with inpatient ACDF+P.
