Abstract
Hybrid-operating rooms enable the surgeon to acquire intraoperative high-resolution 2- and 3D images and use them for navigation. The radiation dose of the operating personal and the patient remains the major concern. In 9 months, 109 pelvic and spine cases were performed using a hybrid operating room. Radiation dose of the surgeon and the assisting nurse was recorded using real-time dosimeters. Lower radiation doses for the main surgeon in navigated dorsal instrumentations of the thoracic spine were recorded. Standing between the C-arm during screw placement increased the radiation dose sixfold. Lumbar dorsal instrumentation showed a similar radiation dose compared to the previous studies in traditional operating room settings. The use of a hybrid-operating room for dorsal spine instrumentation showed no increase in radiation dose compared to traditional settings. Intraoperative navigation can help to reduce the radiation dosage for the operating personnel.
