title: The anaesthetist's SonoSite Probe - Successful adjunct to complex intradural spinal surgery or poor man's intraoperative ultrasound?
abstract: The use of expensive, sophisticated, intraoperative ultrasound systems is established in cranial neurosurgery and less so in the realms of intradural spine. For units yet to acquire such costly devices, we demonstrate our experience of the readily available, anaesthetist's SonoSite™ probe in intradural spinal surgery.
