SURGERY OF SPINAL CORD AND SPINAL ROOTS WITH THE USAGE OF INTRAOPERATIVE ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION
Abstract
Objective. Literature review dedicated to clinical usage of ultrasound navigation in surgical treatment of spinal cord and nerve roots.
Material and methods. Authors analyzed 79 papers from 1984 to 2017 of Pubmed database dedicating to ultrasound navigation in patients with extramedullary and intramedullary tumors, syringomyelia, arachnoid cysts, Arnold—Chiari malformation.
Results. Intraoperative ultrasound examination (IOUE) allows conducting navigation in real-time mode, providing images of those structures not available for direct visualization in high quality, that is allows optimizing the surgical manipulations.
Conclusions: IOUE in surgery of spinal cord and nerve roots is perspective method, which is simple in teaching and effective for intraoperative visualization not requiring high economical costs.
