Abstract
Objective
This study examines patients with metastatic spinal disease undergoing non-total en bloc spondylectomy, focusing on revision surgery reasons and its effectiveness in treating spinal instability, neurological issues, and pain.
Methods
This study conducted a retrospective case series in a single center and included 344 patients with metastatic spinal tumor who underwent non-total en bloc spondylectomy open surgery between 2013 and 2021 and were followed up for >2 years.
Results
Of 344 patients, 20 (7.1%) had revision surgery due to delayed infection (n = 1), fixation loosening (n = 2), and tumor recurrence (n = 17). The revision group had lower rates of radiotherapy (35%) and long-segment fixation (45%) than the unrevised group (60.2%, 74%; P < 0.001). Decompression surgery had the highest revision rate (15.8%), followed by vertebrectomy (8.9%), separation surgery (4.7%), and hybrid surgery (2.3%). Postoperative scores and survival rates were improved in the revision group (median survival 32 vs. 11 months; P < 0.05).
Conclusions
Long-segment fixation with radiotherapy may reduce revision surgery need and extend the time between surgeries. Hybrid or separation surgeries lower the likelihood of revision. Revision surgery can relieve pain and improve neurological function. Patients in the revision group have longer survival times.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
