With the exponential increase in research in the field of spine surgery, publishing peer-reviewed articles has become both more desirable and competitive in the past decade. Constructing an impactful manuscript has many important factors, one of which is a well-written Discussion section. A research study can ask a pressing question, have a meticulous methodology and report compelling results; however, without a thoughtful and well-informed analysis of the meaning of the study's findings and their potential influence on the field, the paper will be uninteresting and weak. Thus, formulating an effective Discussion section is crucial to improving the likelihood of the study's publication and its impact.
