A masterful guide on awake spine surgery and minimizing patient anesthesia burdensSpine surgery is an inherently evolving subspeciality with an ever increasing understanding of the pathology, biomechanics, and natural history of spine disease. Concurrently, technological innovations have been introduced that enable better and safer patient outcomes. At the forefront is awake spine surgery, a groundbreaking approach that is about more than avoiding general anesthesia—it stems from the philosophy of minimizing the surgeon "footprint" on patients.
