Overview

Observational analysis shows no significant differences in postoperative outcomes in obese patients, suggesting safety in endoscopic procedures.

Key Points

  • Obesity did not correlate with inferior postoperative outcomes after endoscopic lumbar decompression.
  • Ninety-day payments averaged $2,563 for non-obese versus $3,310 for obese patients, showing a significant cost difference (p = 0.003).
  • Analysis utilized data from the PearlDiver M170 database, including multivariable logistic regression for outcome comparisons.
  • These findings highlight the potential for safe endoscopic spine interventions for obese populations, requiring further research.
