Filter by:The identification of the operative site of lumbar ductal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation is classically done by radioscopy, thus inducing irradiation of the patient. The use of ultrasound in spine surgery is little studied and poorly mentioned in the scientific literature. However, it is commonly used for other types of scouting (especially anesthetics). Thus, in the absence of consensus and clear recommendations, some practitioners perform ultrasound scans . Methodological developments also validate the feasibility of the ultrasound approach. The double benefit of an ultrasound identification is firstly a lack of exposure to X-rays for both the patient and the operating team and secondly a lower cost than a conventional radiography. The main objective is to demonstrate the interest of the ultrasound identification of the surgical site in the intervention of lumbar ductal stenosis and lumbar disc herniations in terms of concordance of the operating site between ultrasound and fluoroscopy.
Lumbar stenosis (LSS) is the most frequent degenerative lumbar disease and is the most frequent indication for spinal surgery. When non-invasive treatments fail, decompression surgery is the gold standard therapy for the majority of patients and generally improves symptoms. However, few studies have investigated the improvement in posture (radiological parameters) after surgery. In lumbar stenosis, patients may present a forward leaning posture (to relieve pain), which is responsible for sagittal imbalance. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the repercussions of decompression surgery on sagittal balance and to compare these with aux clinical results. investigators included patients operated on for isolated lumbar canal stenosis.
Intubation with an unchanneled videolaryngoscope mandates the use of a stylet. The Gliderite is a stylet specially designed for videolaryngoscopes. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy of a new designed bougie for intubation in patients with simulated difficult airways.
