Abstract

The article offers a clinical prospective observational study to establish the impact of comorbid conditions and preoperative complications in post-spinal surgery patients. It offers the study's demographics, costs of specific complication management and comorbidities. The findings indicate that cost of health care rises with spinal surgery complications and comorbid conditions further the medical expenditure.
