Perioperative Vision Loss Following Prone Spine Surgery: A Case-Control Study

CONCLUSIONS: Two surgical risk factors were determined to be statistically significant, including the need for perioperative blood transfusion and prolonged operative time. These findings support previous research on POVL which often identified blood loss and prolonged operative times as surgical risk factors. The narrow patient population used in this project may have limited the ability to perform a more robust study on POVL. Therefore, further research on POVL using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database is strongly encouraged.PMID:38363266 | DOI:10.1016/j.jopan.2023.12.004
