Awake spinal fusion [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2020
'Awake spinal fusion' is a novel approach to spine surgery that combines modern anaesthetic and surgical technique resulting in improved patient satisfaction and overall outcomes. Along with techniques of regional anaesthesia, minimally invasive or endoscopic surgical techniques are used to minimize surgical dissection and blood loss. Although, it is a
