UltraSonic Bone Dissector: Applications in Spine Surgery and Surgical Technique Guide
نویسنده
چکیده
The Misonix BoneScalpel is a novel ultrasonic surgical device that cuts bone and spares soft tissues. This relative selectivity for bone ablation makes BoneScalpel ideally suited for spine applications where bone must be cut adjacent to dura and neural structures. Extensive clinical experience with this device confirms its safety and efficacy in spine surgery. The aim of this report is to describe BoneScalpel’s mechanism of action and the basis for its tissue selectivity, review the expanding clinical experience with BoneScalpel (including the author’s personal experience), and provide a few recommendations and recipes for en bloc bone removal with this revolutionary device.

Ultrasonic total uncinectomy: a novel technique for complete anterior decompression of cervical nerve roots.
BACKGROUND In standard anterior cervical diskectomy, complete resection of the uncinate process is not commonly attempted because of the risk of injury to the vertebral artery. This may result in incomplete decompression of the nerve root when there is severe osseous foraminal stenosis. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the feasibility of total uncinectomy with an ultrasonic bone dissector in patients...

BACKGROUND Ultrasonic dissection devices have been designed for use in open surgery but it is not certain how they compare with standard surgical techniques. METHODS This was a multicentre randomized controlled trial comparing ultrasonic dissection with the traditional surgical technique for haemostasis and dissection during left hemicolectomy and total gastrectomy. The primary endpoint was d...

متن کاملThe use of Ultrasonic Dissector in the Prevention of Risk in Thyroid Surgery
Aim: The execution of a correct hemostasis in thyroid surgery is extremely important both for the recognition of the delicate anatomical structures surrounding the thyroid, and to avoid damage of the same with haemostatic maneuvers incongruous. The ultrasonic dissector, developed in ’90s, allows for adequate hemostasis of caliber vessels of diameter up to 3mm, and at the same time has a minimum...
متن کاملThyroidectomy with ultrasonic dissector: a multicentric experience.
INTRODUCTION We have conducted a clinical controlled trial (CCT) on patients who had undergone thyroidectomy for goitre or thyroid carcinoma. The endpoint of this study was to evaluate the benefits of ultrasonic dissector vs conventional technique (vessel ligation and tight) in patients undergoing thyroid surgery. PATIENT AND METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2009 a CCT was conducted ...
