The entire surgical procedure will be performed under spinal analgesia with a typical duration of 60 90 min and all patients, regardless of length-of-surgery, will remain in the trial population.
One 2003 report, for example, concluded that Infuse produced "statistically superior outcomes with regard to length of surgery, blood loss, hospital stay, reoperation rate, median time to return to work and fusion rates".
Neither time nor length of surgery differed significantly.

The length of surgery was mean 88.4 minutes (range, 54 to 137 minutes) for both groups.
Data were collected on length of surgery, length of stay, intraoperative complications, early and late post-operative complications and surgical outcome.
The CM is extremely easy to use, with an average length of surgery of 30 min, excluding anesthesia [16].
The secondary endpoints assessed clinical evaluation of the grafted area, post-operative hemostatic effect, pain level, and length of surgery.
Along with clinical aspects, blood loss, hospital stay, length of surgery and medication use have been evaluated.
Length of patient stay (days) 6.1 ±2.1 (3–12) 4.4 ±2.1 (2–12) <0.05 The LAVH group shows a significantly higher blood loss, with comparable length of surgery and uterus weight.
