Iatrogenic vertebral artery injury (VAI) caused by surgical interventions involving the cervical
spine is an uncommon but catastrophic complication associated with high morbidity or …

Background Intraoperative vascular injuries in the cervical spine are rare, but carry
significant morbidity and mortality when they do occur. There is a need to better characterize …

Background The overall incidence of iatrogenic vertebral artery injury (IVAI) in cervical spine
surgeries (CSSs) is reported to be 0.07%–1.4%. Although IVAI occurred during C1-2 fusion …

Background Iatrogenic vascular injury is an uncommon complication of anterior and/or
posterior surgical approaches to the cervical spine. Although the results of this injury may be …

Objective Anterior cervical spine operations are commonly performed on cervical spine
pathologies and to a large extent are safe and successful. However, these surgical …

Background Cervical radiculopathy is the most common disease in the cervical spine,
affecting patients around 50–55 year of age. An operative treatment is common clinical …

Background Vertebral artery injury (VAI) during cervical spine surgery is rare. Anterior
controllable ante‐displacement and fusion (ACAF) surgery is a novel technique for treating …

Background and objective A recent meta-analysis on the incidence of iatrogenic injury to the
VA has revealed that patients with variant anatomy are more prone to iatrogenic injury …

Objective The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the surgical anatomy of the
vertebral artery and the sub-axial spine to assess their influence on cervical spine surgery …

We evaluated the incidence of intraforaminal and extraforaminal variations of the vertebral
artery (VA) in the Omani population using computed tomography angiography (CTA). CTA …
