« Patients who undergo for spine revision surgery with epidural fibrosis in which CADISS is used intraoperatively present better intraoperative and perioperative parameters. The surgical difficulty and the incidence of dural tears and intraoperative bleeding from epidural veins are significantly reduced. »
Benefits
Gentle detachment of scar tissue or removal of implanted devices without iatrogenic lesion to critical structures (e.g Dura Mater)
Better intraoperative and perioperative parameters thanks to the preservation of the surrounding healthy structures
Easier identification of cleavage planes
Tested and approved

A minimally invasive revision spine case can lead to many challenges including an increased risk of a dural tear, which is more difficult to repair than in the case of a conventional approach.
We have recently introduced the use of the CADISS system in a few cases of recurrent herniated discs. The first impression is the significant help it brings that makes it possible to catch up the additional waiting time for soaking by accelerating the time of the dissection of fibrosis.

« At first I was septic but after using the CADISS it really helps in spinal revision surgery which is always a challenge for the surgeon. »
How to use the CADISS® System in spine surgery?
Reconstitute & assemble the CADISS® system in the operation room
