Core Tip

Core Tip: We retrospectively analyzed our single-institution 4-year case series study on spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) treated in a hybrid operating room (hybrid-OR). We aimed to explore and summarize the technical features and effectiveness of the application of a hybrid-OR in dealing with SDAVFs. Using the dual-marker localization technique in a hybrid-OR is highly effective and time-saving for locating SDAVFs, and the use of the interoperative digital subtraction angiography technique in hybrid-ORs can significantly reduce the error obliteration rates of the microsurgery procedure.
