Key result
Multidisciplinary preoperative optimization is linked to improved outcomes and shorter stays following elective spine surgery.
Why the study?
Spine surgery is effective for pain and function but carries high complication rates, necessitating comprehensive preoperative patient optimization.
Comprehensive preoperative patient optimization and multidisciplinary approaches are essential to reduce complications and improve outcomes in elective spine surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support preoperative optimization in elective spine surgery; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
» Although spine surgery is effective in reducing pain and improving functional status, it is associated with unacceptably high rates of complications, thus necessitating comprehensive preoperative patient optimization.» Numerous risk factors that can impact long-term surgical outcomes have been identified, including malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, substance use, and more.» Preoperative screening and personalized, evidence-based interventions to manage medical comorbidities and optimize medications can enhance clinical outcomes and improve patient satisfaction following spine surgery.» Multidisciplinary team-based approaches, such as enhanced recovery after surgery protocols and multidisciplinary conferences, can further facilitate coordinated care from across specialties and reduce overall hospital length of stay.

Daniels et al. (2025) conducted a review in Elective spine surgery. Preoperative optimization strategies was evaluated. Preoperative screening, personalized interventions, and multidisciplinary team-based approaches can enhance clinical outcomes and reduce hospital length of stay following elective spine surgery.
