Awake Spine Surgery Opens Doors to More Patients | Duke Health

Awake spine surgery is an option for people who can’t tolerate or don’t want general anesthesia. A special type of anesthesia that numbs your spine and its pain signals allows you to remain conscious without feeling any pain. Awake spine surgery is associated with a shorter hospital stay, easier recovery, and less opioid use.
