  • the evolution of partial undercutting facetectomy in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis
    The Journal of Spine Surgery, 2018
    Co-Authors: Derek T Cawley, Ravi Shenoy, Adam Benton, Senthil Muthian, Susanne Selvadurai, John R Johnson, Sean Molloy
    Abstract:

    Decompression of lumbar spinal stenosis is the most common spinal surgery in those over 60 years of age. While this procedure has shown immediate and durable benefits, improvements in outcome have not changed significantly. Technical aspects of surgical decompression have evolved significantly. The recently introduced ultrasonic Bone Cutter allows a precise and safe peri-neural Bone resection. The principles of preservation of stability, as described by Getty et al. have remained as relevant as when these were described 40 years ago.

  • reducing blood loss in adult deformity surgery an evaluation of the ultrasonic Bone Cutter
    Orthopaedic Proceedings, 2018
    Co-Authors: A Obrien, Sean Molloy
    Abstract:

    Retrospective review of blood loss during posterior instrumented fusion in Adult Deformity Surgery before and after the introduction of the ultrasonic Bone Cutter into routine surgical techniqueWe retrospectively reviewed a large series of adult patients undergoing four or more levels of posterior instrumented fusion (+/− osteotomies/decompressions) over an eight year period. The senior surgeon (SM) switched to using the ultrasonic Bone Cutter instead of conventional cutting techniques at a specific point in time. We reviewed the clinical records of cases performed both before and after this time point and were able to identify blood loss from the clinical records. We reviewed actual blood loss by evaluating several aspects, including suction volumes, swab weights, re-infusion volumes, pre- and post- operative haemoglobin values and the type and amount of haemostatic agents used.We demonstrated that a significant reduction in blood loss intra-operatively occurred with reduced use of haemostatic agents fol...

We reviewed actual blood loss by evaluating several aspects, including suction volumes, swab weights, re-infusion volumes, pre- and post- operative haemoglobin values and the type and amount of haemostatic agents used. We demonstrated that a significant reduction in blood loss intra-operatively occurred with reduced use of haemostatic agents following introduction of the ultrasonic Bone Cutter as the method of Bone removal. Significant reductions in blood loss were achieved with implications in terms of patient mortality and morbidity, improved surgical field and reduced amount and cost of haemostatic agents.

  • use of Bone Cutter to tackle a frozen lead a novel technique
    Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2012
    Co-Authors: Mohammad Hanif Beg, Mohammad Urooj Rubbani, Mohammad Akhtar, Manzoor Ahmed
    Abstract:

    It is occasionally difficult to disconnect leads from headers at the time of pulse generator replacement without injuring the fragile lead. This report describes our experience with frozen lead in which lead pin was removed by pushing with the tip of screwdriver after cutting the closed end of generator header using an orthopaedic Bone Cutter.
