Conventional axillary rolls in prolonged neurosurgical procedures: Time for reconsideration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neurosurgical procedures involving temporal lobe, skull base, posterior fossa, and the retroperitoneal approach to the thoracolumbar spine are often performed in the lateral position. Lateral position can lead to upper extremity neuropathies, arm ischemia, and compartment syndrome and thus axillary rolls are employed to support the upper chest and prevent positional injuries. Institutional variations exist in the manner these rolls are made. Often saline bottles or soft cotton rolls are wrapped with firm cotton towels to create axillary rolls. Using such axillary rolls may be inconsequential in short duration surgeries. However, in our experience, in prolonged surgeries their employment demands caution.
