“Thirty-day Reoperation and Readmission Rates for Revision Decompression or Lumbar Fusion in Cauda Equina Syndrome Patients”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38116344

The 30-day reoperation rate for revision decompression or lumbar fusion was 8%, and the readmission rate was 17% following lumbar decompression for cauda equina syndrome, with intraoperative dural tears, valvular heart disease, and fluid and electrolyte abnormalities being significant risk factors for readmission.
