Περιγραφή ομάδας

Awake spine fusion represents a significant evolution in orthopedic surgery, shifting the paradigm of spinal stabilization by performing complex procedures under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) instead of traditional general anesthesia. By eliminating the need for general anesthesia, patients avoid the systemic side effects of intubation, such as postoperative nausea, respiratory complications, and profound grogginess. This “awake” approach allows the surgical team to utilize local anesthesia and intravenous sedation, which minimizes the neurological risks associated with deep sedation and lowers the physiological stress placed on the body. Because the patient remains conscious and responsive throughout the procedure, surgeons can receive immediate real-time feedback, ensuring greater precision and safety during hardware placement. Consequently, the reduction in systemic trauma translates into a drastically accelerated recovery timeline; most patients experience less post-surgical pain, require fewer opioids, and are often able to walk and return home within hours of the operation, marking a transformative leap toward minimally invasive, patient-centered care.
