| Abstract |
A single-center, retrospective study. To determine the safety and outcomes of total disc replacement (TDR) as an outpatient procedure in the ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been demonstrated to be safe in the outpatient setting. As the awareness of same day surgery procedures is on the rise due to better outcome and shorter recovery time. There is a need for motion preservation in a subset of patients total disc replacement provides a solution. Transitioning spine surgery to the outpatient setting including cervical TDR is the next logical step. The medical records of 55 consecutive patients undergoing single level total disc replacement (Group 1) were compared to our control group of 55 patients who had single-level ACDF (Group 2). Outcomes assessed included VAS neck, arm, NDI scores, and complication rate. 55 patients in Group 1 (TDR) 60% were male with the group's mean age being 42.6+/- 1.4 years and BMI 24.8+/-1.2 kg/m. 55 patients in Group 2 (ACDF) 57% were male with the group's mean age being 53+/-1.0 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 27.9+/-0.8 kg/m. There was no statistically significant intergroup difference in two year VAS neck, arm and NDI scores. Dysphagia was the most common postoperative compliant in both groups (6 patients), with no intergroup significance, p = 0.4. In the ambulatory setting, TDR has shown statistical significant intragroup improvement in VAS neck, arm pain scores and NDI scores (p < 0.001). In this study no patients reported serious complications; no incidence of hematoma formation or worsening postop pain. We conclude that single level TDR can be safely done in an ambulatory surgery center with satisfactory clinical and patient-reported outcomes. This is comparable to single level ACDF in the outpatient setting and previous 2 year TDR studies. 3. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 May 2017.
All research outputs
#2,600,828
of 22,893,031 outputs
Outputs from Spine
#757
of 8,191 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#49,806
of 309,486 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Spine
#17
of 139 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,893,031 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,191 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,486 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 139 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
