Abstract

Vascular complications in spine surgery are rare but potentially devastating events. They may occur during surgery in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbo-sacral regions of the spine, and all operative approaches present at least some risk. Some complications are highly specific to various approaches and/or procedures. Meticulous surgical technique, careful preoperative planning, and familiarity with normal and anomalous vascular anatomy may minimize the risk of complications. Spine surgeons should be knowledgeable regarding specific and general vascular complications as early recognition and timely treatment may prevent poor patient outcomes.
