    Summary

    Intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS) is a safe and effective tool for assessing spinal trauma during surgery. This imaging technique helps detect bone fragments, malalignment, and complications, guiding surgical decisions and improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Spinal trauma presents diagnostic challenges during surgery.
    • Accurate intraoperative assessment is crucial for effective management.
    • Potential complications include bone fragments, malalignment, and cysts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS) in managing spinal trauma.
    • To assess IOSS's role in detecting and characterizing spinal abnormalities and complications.
    • To determine if IOSS can guide surgical interventions and improve outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS) was performed on 39 patients with spinal trauma.
    • Sonography was used to identify bone fragments, malalignment, and compression.

  • IOSS assessed late complications like cysts and differentiated myelomalacia.

    • Main Results:

    • IOSS successfully detected bone fragments, malalignment, and thecal sac compression.
    • The procedure identified post-traumatic intramedullary and subarachnoid cysts.
    • IOSS guided cyst shunting and helped avoid unnecessary spinal cord exploration by differentiating myelomalacia.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative spinal sonography (IOSS) is a safe and simple procedure.
    • IOSS can significantly alter surgical management for spinal trauma.
    • The use of IOSS in spinal trauma surgery is recommended.
