(1) Background: The double pelvic osteotomy (DPO) is a prophylactic surgical procedure associated with 0.4% incidence of sciatic nerve injury. The piezoelectric cutting tool is a surgical device able to involve only mineralized tissue avoiding neurovascular tissue and other soft tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the sciatic nerve injury observed in dogs underwent iliac osteotomy performed using the piezoelectric cutting tool. (2) Methods: Dogs underwent DPO performed with piezoelectric cutting tool were included. Neurological assessment was performed 6 and 24 h after surgery and then repeated 12 days, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. Temporary and or permanent sciatic nerve injury were recorded. (3) Results: 84 DPOs performed in fifty dogs were included. No temporary/permanent neurological disease associated with iatrogenic damage of the sciatic nerve were observed. (4) Conclusions: The iliac osteotomy performed with piezoelectric cutting tool was not associated to iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury.
(1) 背景:双骨盆截骨术(DPO)是一种预防性外科手术,坐骨神经损伤发生率为0.4%。压电切割工具是一种仅作用于矿化组织的手术器械,可避免损伤神经血管组织和其他软组织。本研究旨在评估使用压电切割工具进行髂骨截骨术的犬只中观察到的坐骨神经损伤情况。(2) 方法:纳入使用压电切割工具进行DPO的犬只。在术后6小时和24小时进行神经学评估,然后在术后12天、4周和8周重复评估。记录暂时性和/或永久性坐骨神经损伤情况。(3) 结果:纳入了对50只犬只进行的84例DPO手术。未观察到与坐骨神经医源性损伤相关的暂时性/永久性神经疾病。(4) 结论:使用压电切割工具进行的髂骨截骨术与医源性坐骨神经损伤无关。
