The disease for which spinal embolization surgery is performed is spinal embolization syndrome. Surgery is currently the only treatment for spinal embolism syndrome and costs about$25,000. Surgery requires the release of the embolism, removal of the cause of the embolism, correction of the combined deformity, and maximization of neurological function. Surgical treatment can release the embolism and compression of the spinal cord, restore the local microcirculation, and promote the recovery of nerve function. The indications for surgery are as follows: for patients who are clearly diagnosed with spinal cord embolism syndrome, surgery is required. As long as the patient’s general condition permits, it is still controversial whether prophylactic surgery should be performed on patients who have been found to have low spinal cord cones but are currently asymptomatic. However, most advocate prophylactic surgery because the onset of symptoms cannot be predicted and once symptoms develop they are often irreversible.
