Since the 1980s, there have been several reports for the use of intraoperative ultrasound as a useful adjunct in spinal surgery. However, with the advent of newer cutting-edge imaging modalities, the use of intraoperative ultrasound in spine surgery has largely fallen out of favor. Despite this, intraoperative ultrasound continues to provide several advantages over other intraoperative techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography including being more cost-effective, efficient, and easy to operate and interpret. Additionally, it remains the only method for the real-time visualization of soft tissue and pathologies. This paper focuses on the advantages of using intraoperative ultrasound, especially in cases of intradural lesions and lesions ventral to the thecal sac when approaching posteriorly.
自 20 世纪 80 年代以来，已有多项关于术中超声在脊柱手术中作为有用辅助手段的应用报告。然而，随着更新颖的尖端成像方式的出现，术中超声在脊柱手术中的应用已基本不再流行。尽管如此，术中超声在许多方面仍优于其他术中技术，如磁共振成像和计算机断层扫描，包括更具成本效益、效率更高、操作和解释更简单。此外，它仍然是实时可视化软组织和病变的唯一方法。本文重点介绍了术中超声的优势，特别是在处理硬膜内病变和脊髓囊背侧病变时。
