Abstract
Day-case lumbar microdiscectomy is viable when patients are carefully selected. Younger, fit patients living close to the hospital and operated on in the morning are more likely to be discharged on the same day. Knowledge of these factors while planning elective lists can help optimise bed space and improve spinal services.
