Flow Cytometric Evaluation of the Safety of Intraoperative Salvaged Blood Filtered with Leucocyte Depletion Filter in Spine Tumour Surgery

摘要

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has not been widely adopted in oncological surgery due to the hypothetical concern of reinfusion of malignant cells. We evaluated the feasibility of IOCS in combination with leucocyte depletion filter (LDF) in metastatic spine tumour surgery (MSTS).
