Spinal surgery is performed in children of all age groups. Some of these children will have significant, other medical problems. For most, surgery will be performed in the prone position. Blood loss may be high for some types of surgery, and patients will benefit from use of a blood-sparing technique. Many patients will require spinal cord monitoring to assess cord function and to prevent neurological deficit.
