Popis: POSTERIOR cervical surgery is associated with the risk of serious neurologic damage. 1,2 ? In most circumstances, this procedure is performed during general anesthesia. A potential advantage of local anesthesia includes the ability to derive information from the patient during manipulation and handling of the spinal cord and nerve roots. We report an illustrative case and our experiences caring for 60 patients undergoing posterior cervical surgery performed during local anesthesia.
