Intra-and postoperative complications in the treatment of spinal metastases. A multicentre surveillance study from the German Spinal Registry (DWG-Register).

Preoperative status, invasiveness, blood loss> 500 ml and blood transfusions are independent predictors associated with higher risk of complication. PMID: 33047579 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
