In this chapter clinical and surgical anatomy of the spine and its relation with neurovascular anatomical structures was discussed. Applied knowledge of anatomical relations regarding surgical procedures and approaches was discussed and their relations were demonstrated via cadaveric dissections. Anatomy of the intervertebral foramen or osseous canal and neighbouring neurovascular structures was evaluated in details and thorough review of literature was performed. Body movement-associated changes in intervertebral foramen, pedicle and spinal nerve relation and anatomy of ligaments were discussed in details. Their clinical relevance and significance was emphasized by discussion of recent literature.
