Abstract
Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of piezosurgery in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
Methods: 47 patients with complex CSM (cCSM) underwent ACDF surgery from 2014 to 2017. Among these patients, 26 underwent ACDF using piezosurgery (group A) and 21 underwent ACDF by using traditional tools such as high-speed air drill, bone curette, and Kerrison bone punch (group B). Average surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical complications, preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, and improvement rate were measured.
Results: Average surgical time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly lower in group A than those in group B (P < 0.01). The incidences of surgical complications were 3.8% and 23.8% in the A and B groups (P < 0.05), respectively. There were no significant differences in JOA scores and improvement rates between data collection periods at preoperative, 3-day postoperative, and 1-year postoperative follow-ups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: For treating cCSM, both the piezosurgery and traditional tools led to significant neurological improvement. However, the piezosurgery was superior to the traditional tools in terms of surgical time, blood loss, and complication rate. Hence, piezosurgery was a safe and effective adjunct for ACDF treating cCSM.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
