The surgical anatomy of the spine can be tricky and has some serious challenges. These challenges might affect the health of nerves and blood vessels. Let’s break it down:

1. Complex Structures: The spine has many important parts, including nerves and blood vessels. Because these parts are close together, there’s a higher chance of hurting them during surgery.

2. Variability in Anatomy: Everyone’s spine is a little different. These differences can make planning for surgery harder, which can lead to problems later on.

3. Limited Access: Some surgeries use methods that make smaller cuts. But sometimes, these methods don’t let doctors see everything they need to see. This makes it tougher to move safely around important parts.

Solutions:

• Using advanced imaging tools can help doctors see the spine better and understand it more clearly.
• Continuous training for surgeons can improve their skills, lower risks, and help patients have better results.
