[Radiation exposure of the spine surgeon].

Introduction: in general, spine surgeons seek to minimize soft tissue damage by using less invasive approaches, which causes them to use intraoperative images much more frequently than other surgical specialties; therefore, they are at increased risk of radiation exposure.

Objective: the aim of this work was to analyse the amount of radiation to which the spine surgeon is exposed in different scenarios.

Material And Methods: a prospective study with a descriptive, longitudinal non-randomized data source.
