Recently, minimal invasive spine surgery has been used and spine surgeons are prone to the radiation exposures.
Objectives: To determine the radiologic hazard to the spine surgeon.
Methods

Conclusion
Surgeons should aware of the radiation exposure of the spine surgery and should do efforts on minimize it.
