Abstract

Objective : to determine the effect from use of ultrasonic bone scapel instrument in spinal degenerative stenosis surgery in term of perioperative , postoperative Blood loss and total operative time. Compare to conventional surgical technique of spinal degenerative stenosis surgery.

Methods: retrospective cohort study of 45 patients with degenerative spinal stenosis underwent surgery during Jan 2018 – May 2020 By single spinal surgeon (Suppachai Punpichet, MD.) in VachiraPhuket Hospital.

Result : by 22 patients whom underwent the surgery with use of ultrasonic bone scapel in combine with conventional surgery technique (UBS group). The data showed significant Less blood loss in both perioperative and postoperative period (p-value = 0.007) and also had significant less surgical time showed in UBS group (p-value=0.02). However, no device-related complication showed in this study.

Conclusion : The use of ultrasonic bone scapel in combine with conventional surgery technique of spinal stenosis surgery showed benefit in term of less total Blood loss from surgery and also significantly reduce operative time.
