This Module is a unique teaching tool of 23 lectures from experienced surgeons. It unifies complications from approaches to the spine on the one hand, and from the different pathologies on the other – disc herniation, decompression surgery, deformity surgery, trauma surgery, and surgery in osteoporosis.

Furthermore, typical complications like a dural leak, pseudarthrosis, wound infections, implant complications, as well as neurological deficits, spinal cord damage, and complications arising from positioning the patient are dealt with in depth.

Finally, there is a pair of lectures suggesting the algorithm of imaging in spinal complications.

• Know the main complications related to different anatomical segments, from the cervical spine to the sacrum
• Be aware of the most frequent complications specific to different approaches, from anterior to lateral and posterior, classic open or minimally invasive
• Recognise situations of increased risk, for osteoporotic patients, neuromuscular patients, multi-operated patients
• Correctly use imaging and diagnostic tests to identify and manage postoperative complications
• Build a solid, thorough knowledge in order to minimize postoperative complications in daily surgical practice
