Ultrasonic osteotome versus high-speed burr in channel-assisted cervical key hole technology: a clinical retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) is a common cause of neck and upper limb pain in adults and often requires surgical intervention. The keyhole technique under cervical endoscopy has gained widespread acceptance in recent years; however, the efficacy of different surgical instruments remains to be fully evaluated. As an emerging tool in spinal surgery, the ultrasonic osteotome offers high cutting precision and reduced intraoperative bleeding, which may provide advantages in endoscopic procedures.

Objective

To compare the clinical efficacy of the ultrasonic osteotome versus the high-speed drill in endoscopic keyhole surgery for CSR, with a focus on differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery, and complication rates.
