A vertebral surgery instrument includes: an engagement part for engaging with a pair of opposing parts provided on or attached to a vertebral implant in a state in which the vertebral implant is fixed to a vertebra, the pair of opposing parts forming a slit into which a fixation rod for fixing a plurality of vertebrae to each other is to be inserted; and a pair of guide parts that are provided integrally with or attached to the engagement part. The pair of guide parts are formed extending so as to separate from each other toward a side on which the fixation rod is to be inserted, in a state in which the engagement part is engaged with the pair of opposing parts, and the slit and a guide passage that is formed between the pair of guide parts are in communication with each other.
