Full-endoscopic spinal decompression or discectomy show benefits regarding 30-day readmission rates when compared to other spine surgery techniques: a propensity score matched analysis
This study is the first to compare 30-day hospital readmissions between FESS and nonendoscopic surgeries in a large, matched multicenter cohort. FESS significantly reduces both the length of postoperative hospital stay and 30-day readmission rates compared to nonendoscopic approaches, underscoring the safety and effectiveness of outpatient FESS. Future studies are needed to define the role of FESS in more complex spine procedures.
