Application of a new coaxial bipolar electrode for the treatment of vertebral metastases: a pilot study in an ovine model
In agreement with these findings, temperature estimation based on computational simulation showed negligible increase in the spinal cord at the level of treated vertebra. Utilizing coaxial bipolar electrodes within the vertebral body through a transpedicular approach could offer a safe and minimally invasive procedure to treat spinal tumors and metastases, regardless of lesion size, while safeguarding critical neural structures.
