High Speed Burr

Total uncinate process resection or uncinectomy is often required in the setting of severe foraminal stenosis or cervical kyphosis correction. The proximity of the uncus to the vertebral artery, nerve root, and spinal cord makes this a challenging undertaking. Use of a high-speed burr or ultrasonic bone dissector can be associated with direct injury to the vertebral artery and thermal injury to the surrounding structures. The use of an osteotome is a safe and efficient method of uncinectomy. Here the authors describe their technique, which is illustrated with an intraoperative video.

Reduction Effect

Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is a commonly encountered disease after lumbar surgery. There are many cases where it is difficult to choose a treatment because no specific cause can be found. Nevertheless, according to recent reports, adhesiolysis has shown reasonable evidence. However, considering its poor cost-effectiveness, adhesiolysis cannot be used as the first line of treatment. FBSS patients often suffer from chronic pain; accordingly, they become frustrated when this treatment produces a poor response. Therefore, before the procedure, the target group must be selected carefully. We sought to identify the pre-procedure factors predicting the effect of adhesiolysis in FBSS. A total of 150 patients were evaluated and analyzed retrospectively. Of these 150 patients, 69 were classified as responders three months after the procedure (46%). The outer diameter of the catheter during the procedure and grade of foraminal stenosis were correlated with the procedure effect. In conclusion, of the 2.1 mm diameter of the catheter, 1.7 mm of it was used during the procedure, and the milder the foraminal stenosis, the greater the pain reduction effect was three months after the procedure.
