Dr. Barba shares how long a patient will remain in the hospital after minimally invasive spine surgery.
Dr. Barba:
After your minimally invasive spine surgery, you can expect to be in the hospital anywhere from one to three to four days. The average time is shortened by at least a day or two from your regular spine surgery. So, a patient would be in the hospital for a day after simple procedure and maybe three days after a more complicated procedure.
