Morphometric analysis of significant vascular structures in posterior disc surgery with computed tomography angiography.

Background: Vascular injuries, which are rarely seen in all spinal area procedures, especially lumbar disc surgery, are vitally important. The relationship between the course of the iliac artery and vein and intervertebral disc distance was studied morphometrically in patients who had undergone computed tomography angiography for abdominal aorta.

Methods: This study was carried out retrospectively.
