Preoperative Embolization as a Strategy to Mitigate Hemorrhage Risk in Surgical Resection of Spinal Hemangioblastomas

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to explore the interest and indications of preoperative embolization as an adjunctive technique to mitigate hemorrhage risk during surgical resection of spinal hemangioblastomas. Background: Spinal hemangioblastomas are benign vascular tumors that pose a surgical challenge due to the risk of intraoperative hemorrhage. The standard treatment for these tumors is surgical resection, but the potential for significant bleeding necessitates additional strategies to enhance safety.
