How many hours does back surgery take?

I am a 40 year old male. I want to know how many hours does back surgery take?

4 Answers

it can take up to 12 hours.
Obviously, it depends on the type of surgery. In my hands, a simple mini invasive surgery is less than 1 hour; complex spinal salvage surgery, up to 8hrs.
It depends on the surgery from 1h to 10-12. hours
Depends on the procedure. Could be 30 minutes to hours.
