on 12,422 hospitalizations after 11 types of major elective, noncardiac surgery. The surgeries included two types of hernia repair, gall bladder or colon surgery, breast lump biopsy, mastectomy or hysterectomy, hip or knee replacement, spinal fusion, and lumbar disk surgery.Over 6,200 of the 12,422 patients had cannabis use disorder, and they were carefully matched with patients who did not, according to the study.
