Popis: Introduction: More spinal surgeries are being performed in patients taking low-dose aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemic disease. However, there are no recommended guidelines for perioperative aspirin use in patients undergoing spinal surgery. This study evaluated the perioperative effect of continued low-dose aspirin on cervical laminoplasty. Methods: This was a single-institute retrospective study of patients who underwent laminoplasty at the C2/3 to C7/T1 levels for cervical compression lesions. The comparison of 73 patients who continued to take aspirin at 100 mg/day during the perioperative period and 322 patients who took no antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs examined their patient characteristics, perioperative parameters, and perioperative complications. Results: A significantly higher proportion of patients with aspirin were men, and the mean age was significantly higher in patients with than without aspirin (P=0.011 and P
