Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Major complications within 30 days after arcocristectomy: death, myocardial infarction, vertebral injury, insult, pulmonary embolism, severe pneumonia with respiratory obligation, re-operation, new motor deficit KG = 3/5, worsening of myelopathy. Occurrence of complications in the further postoperative course (e.g. revision operations)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Minor complications within 30 days after arcocristectomy: New motor deficit KG > 3/5, sensitive deficit, mild pneumonia with transient oxygen dependence, postoperative confusion, urinary tract infection, anemia requiring transfusion, deep vein thrombosis, dural tear / liquor fistula. Wound healing disorder. Enlargement of the spinal canal in the operated segment or segments compared to preoperative imaging.	—
