Abstract
Objectives
This review will provide a critical analysis of the current body of literature regarding outpatient spine surgery along with an assessment of the associated economic implications.
Findings
The recent adoption and growing utilization of outpatient spine surgery has attracted increasing attention for its potential to provide efficient and economical care in this era of health care reform. Its growth has been supported by evidence derived primarily from retrospective case series that have reported comparable safety and equivalent clinical outcomes when compared to inpatient spinal surgery.
Conclusions
Financial drivers have placed a greater emphasis on cost-containment and expanded investment in ambulatory surgical centers. Promise for surgeons to share in profits from such centers has been an additional drive for expansion of outpatient spinal surgery.
