Zusammenfassung:Abstract BACKGROUND: Obesity rates continue to rise along with the number of obese patients undergoing elective spinal fusion. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of obesity on resource utilization and early complications in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spine disease. METHODS: A single-institution retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with degenerative spine disease requiring instrumentation between 2008 and 2012. The 801 identified patients were grouped based on a body mass index (BMI) of
