Outpatient elective posterior lumbar fusions appear to be safely considered for appropriately selected patients

There has been growing interest in performing posterior lumbar fusions (PLFs) in the outpatient setting to optimize patient satisfaction and reduce cost. Although still done in only a small percentage of cases, this has been more possible due to advances in surgical techniques and anesthesia. However, data on the perioperative course of outpatient compared to inpatient PLF in a large sample size is scarce.
