Comparison of patient-centric factors in minimally invasive transcranial versus classic approaches: a matched cohort study
The large difference in narcotic needs points to enhanced recovery from MIS techniques. While the difference in operative time did not lead to significantly shorter hospital stays, data suggest that minimally invasive technique may benefit the patient during recovery. This inspires further investigations to define the potentially positive impact on hospital and healthcare systems.
