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

Table 5 Blood loss and neurological deficits in relation to time between embolization and surgery

Time embolization-surgery	Blood loss		New neurology after embolization	New neurology after surgery	New neurology, after embolization direct surgery
Time embolization-surgery	<1000 ml	>1000 ml	New neurology after embolization	New neurology after surgery	New neurology, after embolization direct surgery
< 24 h
TSM (15)	10	5	1	2	1
LSM (12)	7	5	0	1	0
>24 < 48 h
TSM (2)	1	1	1	0	0
LSM (2)	1	1	1	1	0

The table shows the classification of TSM and LSM patients in terms of time between embolization and surgery (<24 h, >24 < 28 h) and intraoperative blood loss (<1000 ml, >1000 ml). Furthermore, the rate of new neurological deficit after embolization, after surgery, or if surgery was performed immediately after embolization was evaluated in the TSM and LSM groups
The relative amount of new neurological deficits following embolization was higher in the >24<48h group: 24h: n%= 3,7 vs. >24<48h, n%= 50
The relative amount of new neurological deficits following surgery was higher in the >24<48h group: 24h: n%= 11 vs. >24<48h, n%= 25
