Safety during scoliosis surgery with Cell Savhe:
Minimize complications and optimize recovery

Scoliosis surgery is a significant procedure that requires precise execution and state-of-the-art technologies to achieve optimal results and minimize complications. At our clinic, we place the highest value on the safety of our patients throughout the entire surgical procedure. An innovative technology we use to maximize safety is the Cell Saver.

What is a Cell Saver?

A cell saver is a medical device used during surgery to collect, clean and prepare the patient's blood for transfusion during or after the procedure. This procedure allows the patient's own blood to be recycled and reused, resulting in a variety of benefits.

How does the Cell Saver work during scoliosis surgery?

During scoliosis surgery, the Cell Saver can be used to minimize the patient's blood loss during the procedure. The blood that is lost during the operation is collected by the Cell Saver, cleaned and collected in a special container. The purified blood is then reintroduced to the patient via transfusion, helping to replenish blood loss and reducing the need for external blood transfusions.

Benefits of Using the Cell Saver in Scoliosis Surgery:

  • Minimizing Blood Loss: By using the Cell Saver, intraoperative blood loss can be significantly reduced, resulting in more stable hemodynamics and a lower risk of transfusion-related complications.

  • Avoidance of Allogeneic Blood Transfusions: Using the patient's own blood reduces the risk of immune reactions and transfusion-related infections, resulting in improved postoperative recovery.

  • Improved Tissue Oxygenation: By maintaining blood volume and hemoglobin concentration, the Cell Saver helps maintain adequate tissue oxygenation during the surgical procedure.

Why do we choose Cell Saver?

At our clinic, we have decided to use the Cell Saver during scoliosis surgery to optimize the safety and recovery of our patients. This innovative technology allows us to significantly reduce the risks of blood loss and transfusion-related complications and improve postoperative recovery.

If you have any further questions about scoliosis surgery or using the Cell Saver, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to answer your questions and arrange a consultation.
