Intraoperative vertebroplasty during surgical decompression and instrumentation for aggressive vertebral hemangiomas: a retrospective study of 39 patients and review of the literature

Our results suggest that posterior decompression effectively provides symptom relief in patients with aggressive (S3) VHs with severe spinal cord compression. Intraoperative vertebroplasty is a safe and effective method for minimizing blood loss during surgery, whereas adjuvant radiotherapy or vertebroplasty helps in minimizing recurrence after decompression.
