    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Outpatient Procedures

    Background:

    • Outpatient disc excision lacks extensive reporting in medical literature.
    • Rising healthcare costs and alternative outpatient disc procedures necessitate evaluating conventional disc excision.
    • This study addresses the timely need to analyze outpatient disc excision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the feasibility of performing conventional disc excision as an outpatient procedure.
    • To assess the safety and practicality of outpatient laminotomy for disc surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective analysis of clinical records from 75 consecutive outpatient disc excision cases.
    • Data collected from patients undergoing surgery performed by the author.
    • Focus on outcomes and complications in an outpatient setting.

    Main Results:

    • No complications or issues were encountered during the outpatient disc excision procedures.
    • Two patient complications occurred but were unrelated to the outpatient setting.
    • The outpatient setting did not influence the occurrence or severity of complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Conventional outpatient disc excision is a viable and practical surgical approach.
    • Outpatient surgery is a suitable alternative for carefully selected patients needing disc surgery.
    • The study supports the expansion of outpatient surgical options for spinal conditions.
