Abstract
The author discusses potential intraoperative complications following neurosurgical interventions in sitting position: venous air embolism and paradoxical air embolism, postural hypotension, pneumocephalus, cervical flexion neuropathy, positional damage to peripheral nerves and others. Naturally, prevention of these complications is also considered, and the most effective approach is surgery in lying position.
