Abstract
In the present study, selection criteria for outpatient surgery included one or two level involvement C4-5 or lower, absence of myelopathy, subjective neck size, and estimated operative time. The data did not otherwise suggest a difference in the surgical populations. The outpatient group had a lower complication rate compared with the controls. This was likely the result of selection bias. Transient dysphagia was the most prevalent complication in the outpatient group.
