Effect of enhanced surgical recovery program for thoracolumbar spine surgery on opioid use, length of hospital stay, and hospital readmissions: evaluation of 51,236 cases
This national healthcare system analysis of over 50,000 TL spine fusion cases by 1,352 surgeons at 138 centers across the US confirms that ESR adoption is associated with decreased daily MME, LOS, and READMIT compared to non-ESR controls. Surgeons should consider adoption of ESR programs to improve patient care.
