Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study is to contribute to the literature by comparing the patients who underwent surgical treatment using ultrasonic bone cutter and the patients who underwent osteotomy with hand osteotomes in terms of surgical time and amount of blood loss. Materials and methods: Patients who underwent scoliosis and kyphosis surgery were evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not ultrasonic bone scalpel was used during osteotomy. The patients' age, gender, type of deformity, number of osteotomy segments, number of fusion segments, surgical time, estimated blood loss, amount of blood transfusion after surgery, duration of staying hospital and complications were recorded retrospectively. Significant statistical differences between groups were investigated. Results: 26 patients were included in the study. 65.4% (n= 17) were female and 34.6% (n=9) were male. 69.2% (n=18) had scoliosis and 30.8% (n=8) had kyphosis. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of fusion level, osteotomy levels, operation time, and amount of bleeding. There was no significant difference between the amount of bleeding / fusion levels in the two groups. (p=0.781). Conclusion: It is thought that the use of ultrasonic bone scalpel during osteotomy provides convenience for the surgeon and reduces complications compared to classical osteotomes. Different results have been reported in the literature. In our study, no significant effect of ultrasonic bone scalpel was found compared to osteotomes. Randomized controlled studies with larger case series on the use of ultrasonic bone scalpel in spine surgery are required.

Özet

Amaç Adelösan idiopatik skolyozun cerrahi tedavisinde kan kaybı miktarı ve cerrahi süreler önemli parametrelerdendir(1). Literatürde ultrasonik kemik kesicilerin kanama miktarını azalttığını bildiren çalışmlar olduğu gibi; kan kaybı bakımından etkisiz olduğunu bildiren çalışmalar damevcuttur(8,11). Çalışmamızın amacı ultrasonik kemik kesici kullanılarak cerrahi tedavi uygulanan hastalar ile klasik el osteotomlarıyla osteotomi uygulanan hastaları, cerrahi süre ve kan kaybı miktarı bakımından karşılaştırarak literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler Çalışmaya skolyoz ve kifoz tanısı alarak cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen 26 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar osteotomi sırasında ultrasonik kemik kesici uç kullanılıp kullanılmamasına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, deformite tipi, osteotomi uygulanan segment sayısı, füzyon uygulanan segment sayısı, cerrahi süre, cerrahi sırasındaki tahmini kan kaybı miktarları, cerrahi sonrası kan transfüzyonu miktarı, hastanede kalış süresi ve komplikasyonlarla ilgili verileri retrospektif olarak taranarak kaydedildi. Gruplar arasında anlamlı istatistiksel farklılıklar araştırıldı Bulgular 26 hasta’nın %65,4’ü (n= 17) kadın, %34,6’sı (n=9) erkektir. Hastaların %69,2’si (n=18) skolyoz ve % 30,8’i (n=8) kifoz hastasıdır. İki grupta bulunan hastalar füzyon seviyesi, osteotomi seviyeleri, ameliyat süresi, kanama miktarları açısından karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark yoktur. İki grup kanama miktarı /füzyon seviyeleri oranlarının açısından karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı fark yoktur. (p=0,781). Sonuç Ultrasonik kemik kesicilerin osteotomi sırasında kullanımının cerrah açısından klasik osteotomlara göre kolaylık sağladığı ve komplikasyonları azalttığı düşünülmektedir. Mevcut literatürde farklı sonuçlar bildirilmiştir. Çalışmamıza göre ultrasonik kesicilerin klasik osteotomlara göre anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamıştır. Ultrasonik kemik kesicilerin omurga cerrahisinde kullanımı ile ilgili daha geniş vaka serileri ile yapılacak randomize kontrollü çalışmalar gerekmektedir.
