Abstract
Among patients who underwent lumbar fusion, IBD is a rare comorbidity that is becoming increasingly more common. Importantly, patients with IBD were not at increased risk of postoperative complications. Spine surgeons should be prepared to treat more patients with IBD and should incorporate the present findings into preoperative risk counseling and patient selection.
