Abstract
Objective: The efficiency and cost of cell saver system is compared with in patients who underwent to complex spine surgery with and without the system. Material and methods: We restrospectively evaluated the pateints who underwent to posterior instrumentation and fusion in our clinic between Jan 2009-Mar 2013 for treatment of complex spine disease. There were 44 patients in group I which cell saver system was used during operation, and 20 patient in gorup II which system was not used. We aimed to determine the efficiency and cost of the usage of cell saver system against to allogenic blood transfusion in peroperative and postoperative periods. IBM SPSS Statistic Version 20.0 program was used for statistical analyses. Results: The number of erytrosyte suspension used in the peroperative and the postoperative periods was 1±1 in group I, and 2.6±1.8 in group 2 and the differnce was statistically significiant (p=0.004). When compared by the cost, group I was 752.7±148.7 TL and group II was 241.8±169.1 TL with statistically significiant difference (p
