How Different GLP-1 Doses Affect Short- and Long-Term Recovery After Neck Spine Fusion Surgery

Updated

Abstract

High-dose glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly used for obesity management.

  • The perioperative safety of GLP-1 RAs in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is not well established.
  • Potential effects of GLP-1 RAs on fusion-related outcomes after ACDF remain unclear.
  • Further investigation is needed to understand the implications of GLP-1 RA use in surgical settings.
