A member asked:
I will be having a 360 fusion at l5 s1 how long will the procedure take and what can i expect for a hospital stay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If this involves an incision that opens the abdomen, a few days on the hospital is topical, but you would need to check with your surgeon to be sure. Give them a call, and they will get back to you with the info. Hope this helps!
