Troublesome venous bleed is a significant challenge from epidural channels around facets in spine, more so at C1 and C2. Patience during surgery is the key factor to avoid and control such bleeding. Meticulous patient positioning, coagulation of venous plexus, and compression tamponade with hemostats are essential in preventing troublesome epidural bleeding.
