Özet

Background: Ligation of the segmental vessels is routinely used during the anterior approach to the thoracolumbar spine. There is still an ongoing discussion whether the ligation of the segmental arteries can cause damage to the spinal cord. This study aims to evaluate the alterations in the spinal cord after ligation of the segmental vessels, histopathologically.
