Hemostatic agents are often used in spine surgery to control excessive bleeding. Oxidized cellulose (OC) is a common hemostatic agent used for this purpose. We present a case of postoperative cauda equina syndrome caused by Surgicel (Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey, US). An emergent decompression led to complete recovery. All attempts should be made to remove OC before closure after hemostasis has been achieved.
止血剂常用于脊柱手术中控制过度出血。氧化纤维素(OC)是用于此目的的一种常见止血剂。我们报告一例由强生公司(美国新泽西州)生产的速即纱导致的术后马尾综合征病例。紧急减压后患者完全康复。止血完成后,应在缝合前尽一切努力清除氧化纤维素。
