Managing Vertebral Artery Injuries in Spine Surgery | Lessons & Smarter Healthcare with Staffingly In response to a LinkedIn post about a vertebral artery injury during cervical spine surgery, we wanted to share a story that captures both the challenge and the teamwork behind such moments. A patient in their late 50s came in with post-infectious cervical deformity and myelopathy. The surgical plan was complex—posterior-anterior-posterior reconstruction. The first stage went smoothly, but during the anterior approach, an inadvertent vertebral artery injury occurred. Here’s where the real test began. The surgical team immediately gained control of the bleed using pressure and hemostatic agents—while remembering not to inject agents like Floseal or Surgiflo, which can embolize to the brain. Anesthesia was alerted, blood was called for urgently, and neuro-monitoring was maintained to ensure spinal cord safety. Some readers of that post raised key questions—how often do these complications occur, how much blood is typically needed, and how quickly should transfer to angiography be arranged? The case answered it clearly: coordination is everything. Once stabilized, the patient was rushed to the angio suite for coiling and later completed her reconstruction successfully. The patient is now home, recovering well—a powerful reminder that while complications are inevitable, the right system, teamwork, and resources can turn a crisis into a success. At Staffingly Inc., we believe the same applies beyond the operating room. Just as surgeons rely on coordinated support, healthcare organizations thrive when the right systems are in place.
