Vertebral column resection (VCR) is often necessary for adequate correction. Substantial risks remain with blood loss, prolonged operative time, and risk to the neural elements. We studied VCR in rigid spinal deformities, including deformity correction, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) alerts, spinal cord\/nerve injuries, and perioperative adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a retrospective review of 55 patients who underwent VCR for severe and rigid spinal deformities with minimum 2 years of follow-up.

The average Cobb angle for scoliotic deformities was 106.9\u00b0, ranging from 66\u00b0 to 131\u00b0. The average angle of kyphosis was 90.6\u00b0 (78\u00b0\u2013108\u00b0). The average flexibility index was 15.7% \u00b110.9%. Two of pediatric cases and 11 of adult cases were revisions. The average postoperative correction rate was 68%. The average estimated blood loss was 1066 ml (150\u20135500 ml). Seven dural tears were repaired with no short-or long-term sequelae. Four of seven patients who had dural tear were revision cases. The incidence (30%) of dural tear in revision cases was significantly higher than primary cases. Six (10.9%) patients had IONM alerts during the surgery. None of the patients suffered from a spinal cord injury with a neurologic deficit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
