Summary
Surgical resection of cervical spine chordomas can injure the vertebral artery. A modified implant successfully accommodated clips after vertebral artery injury, ensuring patient stability and a positive long-term outcome without recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedic Oncology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Cervical spine chordomas require surgical resection and radiotherapy.
- Tumor excision risks damage to adjacent soft tissues and neurovascular structures.

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...
