Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of hemilaminectomy as an approach to intradural tumors and to assess the risk of postoperative spinal instability.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of 38 patients who underwent surgical resection of intradural tumors between November 2014 and March 2019. Clinical and radiologic data were documented in medical records, from which we obtained clinical data including age, gender, tumor etiology, lesion level, type of resection, and postoperative instability during follow-up.
Results: Schwannomas and meningiomas were the most commonly treated tumors. The lesion locations were as follows: 8 cervical (21%), 19 thoracic (50%), 10 lumbar (26%), and 1 sacral (3%). The mean follow-up time was 28 months. In all cases, hemilaminectomy allowed for the removal of the tumors without clinical or radiologic evidence of postoperative mechanical instability. Hemilaminectomy was primarily performed on 2 segments but was extended to up to 6 levels in some cases.
Conclusions: Unilateral hemilaminectomy is an effective technique that facilitates complete tumor removal with a low rate of postoperative instability in the operated segments.
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.
