Description
Summary:Objective Obesity can be associated with increased complications and potentially worse outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the impact of obesity on complications and outcomes in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who underwent minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Methods A multicenter database of patients with ASD treated via MIS was queried. Of 190 patients in the database, 77 fit the inclusion criteria of 3 or more spinal levels treated minimally invasively. Patients were divided by body mass index (BMI)
