Opioid Use after Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Comparison between Open and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our study reveals a significant difference in opioid consumption between patients undergoing different surgical techniques. While these findings are valid for the studied population, the limitation in sample size highlights the need for further research. The implications of our findings on postoperative pain management and opioid use in spinal surgeries are significant and warrant continued investigation.
