Navigating and Troubleshooting Fluoroscopic Procedures: Tips and Tricks from Optimizing Anatomy to Needle Driving-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discussed the algorithmic approach to doing spinal procedures, with a focus on fluoroscopic procedures. The speakers talked about the importance of having a systematic approach when performing these procedures, including using trajectory views to ensure an unobstructed path for the needle and multi-planar imaging to ensure proper needle placement. They also discussed the use of bevel control, leverage, and concavity techniques to drive the needle in the desired direction. The speakers provided tips and tricks for optimizing imaging, adjusting the CR for different spinal regions, and avoiding suboptimal views. They also discussed the challenges and considerations when dealing with transitional anatomy and the importance of careful pre-procedure planning and communication with the surgical team. Overall, the video provided valuable insights and techniques for navigating and troubleshooting fluoroscopic procedures, with a focus on optimizing anatomy and needle driving to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
