Abstract

We report the cases of two patients who presented with screw misplacement following spinal surgery. Both benefited from unusual vascular surgical management with removal of the material and injection of biological glue facing the injury, with uneventful postoperative courses.

Key Words

Aortic injury - Spinal surgery - Biological glue
