The study compared the radiation exposure of surgeons and patients using FLUORO and NAV intraoperative imaging techniques. The results showed that the average radiation exposure of surgeons was lower in the NAV group without statistical significance and the radiation exposure of the patient was significantly higher in the NAV group.
Study Design. Randomized controlled trial. Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the dosemetrically determined radiation exposure of surgeon and patient during minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) using conventional 2D fluoroscopy (FLUORO) or 3D fluoroscopy-based navigation (NAV). Summary of Background Data. MIS TLIF was shown to exhibit higher radiation exposures compared to open techniques. In particular, the routinely exposed surgeon encounters the risks of increased radiation doses. With the additional use of intraoperative 3D navigation, major steps of the operation can be performed without exposing the operating room staff to ionizing radiation. Methods. Forty-four patients undergoing monosegmental MIS TLIF were randomized into the two intraoperative imaging technique groups (FLUORO or NAV). The primary endpoint was the radiation exposure of the surgeon; the secondary endpoints were the radiation exposure of the patient and C-arm readings. Results. After exclusion of three patients, 41 patients were analyzed. In general, the average radiation exposure of the surgeon was lower in the NAV group without being statistically significant. The radiation exposure of the patient was significantly higher in the NAV group at all dosemeter sites. The average fluoroscopy time was 63 +/- 36 versus 109 +/- 31 sec (FLUORO versus NAV group, P < 0.001). Conclusion. The additional use of intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy-based navigation compared to conventional 2D fluoroscopy alone showed a nonsignificant reduction of the radiation exposure of the surgeon in monosegmental MIS TLIF, while increasing the radiation exposure of the patient.
