This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
While the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols and improvements in pain control have decreased the length of stay (LOS) after scoliosis surgery, adolescents are typically hospitalized for several days after posterior spinal instrumented fusion (PSF). The purpose of this study was to determine whether next-day discharge after PSF for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) had an equivalent safety profile compared with longer LOS. The secondary purpose was to examine perioperative factors associated with next-day discharge.
