The aim of all spine surgery is to achieve surgical correction of a defect without incurring new neurologic deficits. The anesthesiologist caring for children and adolescents who undergo spine surgery must address surgical requirements, the issues associated with prone positioning, optimal conditions required for neurophysiologic monitoring, as well as the pathophysiology related to underlying medical conditions. The anesthesiologist must anticipate potential problems in anesthetizing a patient for complex spinal surgery and be prepared to manage all issues and complications.
