Wrong-site surgery (WSS) is a rare occurrence that can have devastating consequences for patient care. There are several factors inherent to spine surgery that increase the risk of WSS compared with other types of surgery. Not only can a surgeon potentially operate on the wrong side of the spine or the wrong level, but there are unique issues related to spinal localization that can be challenging for even the most experienced clinicians. The following review discusses important issues that can help prevent WSS during spinal procedures.
手术部位错误（Wrong-site surgery，WSS）是一种罕见的情况，但可能对患者的治疗产生毁灭性的后果。与其他类型的手术相比，脊柱手术存在一些固有的因素，会增加手术部位错误的风险。脊柱手术不仅可能导致术者在脊柱的错误侧或错误水平进行手术，而且与脊柱定位相关的独特问题即使对经验最丰富的临床医生来说也是具有挑战性的。以下综述讨论了有助于预防脊柱手术中出现手术部位错误的重要问题。
