Does the anatomical region predict blood loss or neurological deficits in embolized renal cancer spine metastases? A single-center experience with 31 patients

Table 3 Occurrence of neurological deficits (ND) at admission and new occurrence of neurology during hospital stay

TSM =17 patients, LSM =14 patients	ND at admission		New ND after embolization		New ND after surgery		New ND after embolization direct surgery

Incomplete paraparesis (n)	0	0	0	0	2	0	1	0
Complete paraparesis (n)	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

The number of neurological findings classified by the TSM and LSM is shown. Subgroups were evaluated according to neurology on admission, new neurology after embolization, new neurology after surgery, and new neurology after the patient was driven from embolization directly to surgery and operated. Neurological deficits were divided into motor and sensory deficits, and incomplete and complete paraparesis
